FYI, this issue is still present in gnome-extra/zenity-2.26.0, that is going stable during these days, together with Gnome 2.26.
On the other hand, upstream accepted a patch similar to this one with version 2.28.0 (that is currently in gnome overlay).

This bug can be closed, I guess.
Today I randomly stumbled upon it and found that the problem has been solved by a long time.

upstream considers this fixed as well. Closing.
