Should

I get a stack trace on CompositionScanner if I try to set the text.
Yes. Please open a bug entry. (If you want to help, try with a few older versions of pharo to find out when the bug was introduced)
Yes, maybe MessageDialogWindow should init the font with a default font.
Also, is there a way to display the dialog modally (relative to your
application)?
Take a look at Morph>openModal:

And this DialogWindow classes are used by UITheme, for example Smalltalk ui theme messageIn:World text:'Some MessageText' title:'The Title'. or for long messages: Smalltalk ui theme longMessageIn:World text: ProfStef pharoZenValuesContents title:'Pharo Zen'. The "World" argument specifies to which Window this Dialog should be modal.
