I am not convinced it is a bug.  The code in question was removed when
fixing some redisplay and event loop problems with popup menus and
dialogs.  A comment near the code suggested that it was there to pop 
down
menus when the user clicks outside the menu.  But that function was
performed elsewhere, so the code was redundant.  The same code is used
for dialogs.  So that had the effect that clicking outside a dialog or
somewhere on the dialog outside the buttons popped down the dialog.

No other application handles dialogs in that way.  In fact, popping down
a dialog on a click outside the dialog could be thought of as a bug, as
it prevents you from raising the dialog or Emacs frame if you have 
configured
your WM to do that.

Note that dialogs of course pop down when clicking on the buttons.
