The answer was given implicitly by testing it :).
I don't remember why those dialogs did exist and I'm not even sure there was a 
distinct reason for.
Most of the Geany Windows stuff I wrote almost two decades ago, was mostly out 
of curiosity whether it works, what can be done and what cannot.
Since I don't use Windows (and did not use it for longer than Geany exists), I 
have no preference what dialogs to show.
Dropping the native message dialogs removes code and reduces the risk of future 
breakages, so I think this is good.

My two cents: being "consistently wrong" is probably better in this case for 
the benefit of better looking dialogs (especially if a dark or other custom GTK 
theme is used).
