I would think not since expect will also see all the terminal control
codes used to make the dialog/whiptail UI.  Also, I don't know what
happens if you try to run a dialog/whiptail program if it doesn't have a
tty for which to grab termcap data.

Your best bet is to provide the program with with a parameter that
causes it to forgo dialog/whiptail and just use standard IO.  Similar to
debconf using readline instead of dialog.
