According to the docs, onCreateDialog should only be called ONCE in the lifetime of the dialog. (if I read correctly.) In your case, it may be getting called more than once hence creating a new dialog on each rotation and having android hang on to the reference.

I also keep full control of the lifetime of the dialog and don't have to worry about any leaks or bugs. However, I agree that for your use case perhaps onCreateDialog might be simpler.
