I started using python for both %pre and %post, from there you can use
the snack module (available even in %pre stage) to build whatever
dialogs you want and as an added bonus it looks exactly like anaconda
itself :)

Snack was showing the box borders with wrong characters (at least in 
%post) as well but setting LC_ALL=C cured that, might help with dialog as 
well.
