Its not a bug in your code, its caused by the battle.net delay.

You need to add an additional condition that checks if the dialog is visible.

Example:

click
    Events
        Dialog - Any Dialog Item is used by Player Any Player with event type Clicked
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                ((Dialog containing (Used dialog item)) is visible for (Triggering player)) == True
            Then
                //your code
            Else
                //dialog is still visible in bnet, but in reality already hidden
