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.
