Ok, here's a different angle to the question:

Why would the "Add address" question be generated a fresh top-level
window (which the window manager is far more likely to have its way
with) when the dialog that follows, "Contact Quick-Add", which works
fine (ie is placed centered on parent) is a normal vanilla dialog?

Ahh.

Well the only real thing I can see is is that it doesn't set the parent window.

All the other crap seems to be done for gtkdialog's identically.

ie "problem" window is this code:
[mail/em-utils.c]

	win = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
	gtk_window_set_title((GtkWindow *)win, _("Add address"));
	gtk_window_set_transient_for((GtkWindow *)win, ((GtkWindow *)parent));
	gtk_window_set_position((GtkWindow *)win, GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT);
	gtk_window_set_type_hint((GtkWindow *)win, GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG);

versus the next one which "works fine":
[addressbook/gui/contact-editor/e-contact-quick-add.c]

        dialog = gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons (_("Contact Quick-Add"),
              NULL, /* XXX */
              (GtkDialogFlags) 0,
              _("_Edit Full"), QUICK_ADD_RESPONSE_EDIT_FULL,
              GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL,
              GTK_STOCK_OK, GTK_RESPONSE_OK,
              NULL);
