Details

Sometimes in embedded situations dialogs or creating of new windows isn't supported so we need to make sure that when the callers of dialogs check the return values to make sure that the dialogs were successfully created. Also, they should do the 'safest' thing for the user that's possible. Please see bug 82601 for the original reason that this bug is open.

This audit is a long, tedious process, and since I'm not to blame for 99% of the call sites of this service, I don't think I (or any one person) should own this. If callers of the service are found which ignore return values, bugs should be filed on a case-by-case basis against the author of that code.
