It's not a blocking dialog, it's just a passive infobar, so you don't have to 
do anything with it. In the case the file was deleted, there are no less than 4 
ways to close the file: the tab close button, the close button in the toolbar, 
the close menu item in the file menu, as well as <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>w</kbd>. 
If the extra step of confirming you want to lose your open document is the 
problem, it can be quickly dismissed using the keyboard with 
<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>d</kbd>.

Seems reasonable, if maybe a little dangerous. I can imagine someone 
accidentally clicking the wrong button in the infobar and then having a really 
bad day, but I'm not strongly against it if people would find it useful for 
their workflows.
