reproduced with Inkscape 0.47+devel r8958 on OS X 10.5.8
Happens often when working with layers (hide/show, lock/unlock, changing active layer...). Hitting <escape> twice returns the focus to the main window else any keyboard shortcut is caught by the dialog and not further processed. Changing the focus with a mouse click works of course but kind of defeats the purpose of using keyboard shortcuts ;)
