I just discovered the same issue, that when the screen orientation is changed, and the owner is recreated, any dialogs are recreated with onCreateDialog but onPrepareDialog does not appear to be called. The relevant sections of code can be found in Activity.java and Dialog.java. When the dialogs are being restored they are created through calls to onCreateDialog, but the dialog state is actually restored through Dialog.onRestoreInstanceState. To me, this design design does not mesh all that well with the existence of onPrepareDialog.
In any case, it is possible to achieve the desired effect by overriding Dialog.onSaveInstanceState and Dialog.onRestoreInstanceState rather than relying on Activity.onPrepareDialog. This is made slightly more difficult since Dialog does not follow the normal Activity lifecycle, ie, there is no onResume called after onRestoreInstanceState, so many of the things that you would normally put in onResume must go into onRestoreInstanceState without interfering with the rest of your dialog. Hope that helps.
