Well, I still have no idea what causes the Android project creation dialogue problem with ADT 0.9.1 and Fedora Eclipse 3.4.2... however after upgrading to the new ADT 0.9.3 (and installing SDK 1.6) the problem has gone away so it's now a moot point.
Following the update the dialogue elements for selecting a path when creating a project from existing files do get enabled when they should, and I'm finally able to use the Notepad Tutorial files properly.
