The 1.6 behavior is correct. Calling .dialog() instantiates a dialog;
trying to re-instantiate an already instantiated dialog will do
nothing. As you've noted, the proper way to open a dialog after it
has been instantiated is to use .dialog('open'). What you want to do
is initialize the dialog outside of the click event and set the
autoOpen option to false. Then always use .dialog('open') to open the
dialog.
