Because that's just wallpapering over the actual issue. If something worked before (i.e. regressed), it's very likely that a better solution exists. And that one will then be more obvious (for programmers at least). If you wallpaper too much, you'll quickly lose sight of why certain workarounds had been applied in the first place. It should really be a last resort only.

Of course, they could also let the dialogs expand to fit their contents,
instead of hard-coding their sizes (an error seen all too often on the
web). Or am I being unreasonable?

As far as I understand Philip's proposed patch, the dialog used to auto-size itself. It's just that this functionality was accidentally broken through a fix for another problem.
