Actually the problem is real and for many different errors, I looked at 
the code closely. You can:

1) mark a file read-only, try to rename it later
2) try to rename a file to zero-length
3) try to rename a directory with a ".app" extension
4) there are a couple of other exceptions you can trigger

I checked the code, which did no t change significantly over the years, 
but used to work! (if you try on debian where all packages are stone-age 
old, everything works!

The code does:

-> error condition
-> Show alert panel
-> run stop-editing code & return

Essentially it never stop editing properly and gets in a sort of loop.

A quick fix is to "stop" the editing before runnig the alert panel: it 
will work (except for the fact that to continue editing you need to 
click on another file and get back). But this is not the real solution: 
for a panel with a YES/NO choice... you can't :)

Currently I'm at loss here

PS: while debugging this I found an incredible number of exceptions! 
being in the debugger showed them, I fixed all of them :) Fix this and 
the next GWorkspace will be great! hah!
