This is another case where dialogs that use predefined response ids
(here GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL) get some special behavior. Lablgtk
automatically assign ids to the added buttons so we don't benefit from this.

Anyway, all you have to do is to connect the "close" signal of the
dialog :

  dialog#connect#close (fun () -> dialog#response `CANCEL)

(substitute `CANCEL for whatever id you use to mean 'close the dialog
and abort').
