Comment (by seb@…):

 I have the same issue, i.e. whenever a pop dialog is displayed there is no
 way to get out of it. (Emacs doesn't actually seem to be "hanging" - more
 like the event loop is stuck). The problem seems to be in x-popup-dialog,
 and is easily reproduced by:

 {{{
 (x-popup-dialog t `("Are you sure?" ("Yes" . 'y) ("No" . 'n)))
 }}}

 The bug has been reported as a bug in emacs, see
 http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17592 but since it cannot be
 reproduced there I suspect that there is something in our MacPorts patches
 that is causing this. I can try to selectively edit out the patches - but
 if anyone with more knowledge of emacs internals would like to help...?
 :-)

 PS. A workaround is to set the variable `use-dialog-box` to `nil` - which
 at least prevents invokations of `y-or-n-p` (and maybe other functions?)
 to display a dialog box when it normally think it should...
