Non-modal dialogs should just work fine in a chrome window (the dialog would just be like a centered absolute positioned div). As for modal dialogs (eg. dialogs that makes everything else inert), it would depend on whether the current top-layer implementation works within a chrome window and I don't think it is the case currently. So, I don't expect modal dialogs to work within the chrome window (at least not without some extra platform work). Xidorn might know better though.
As for how modal dialogs *should* behave in a chrome window, I would expect it to be the same as for web content, i.e. it modal dialogs should make all UI elements except the current dialog inert.
