That's odd..  If I understand your query correctly, I did something
similar to what you want using GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT and it performs
correctly.  Here's the function I did..

This is a multi-purpose open function, used for either selecting a file
or folder, but if I pass FALSE for IsFile, it does, indeed, show only
directories and returns upon clicking on a directory.

---------------  cut ----------------
void
selectfile_open (glbls * hbuf, gchar * type, gboolean IsFile)
{
    GtkWidget *fsel;
    gchar *title = g_strconcat ("Select a ", type, NULL);
    gint action_type;

    if (IsFile)
    {
        action_type = GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN;
    }
    else
    {
        action_type = GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER;
    }

    hbuf->filename_to_return = NULL;

    fsel = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new (title,
                                        GTK_WINDOW (window),
                                        action_type,
                                        GTK_STOCK_CANCEL,
                                        GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL,
                                        GTK_STOCK_OPEN,
                                        GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT,
                                        NULL);    /* Leak??? */

    g_free (title);

    if (gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (fsel)) == GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT)
    {
        hbuf->filename_to_return =
            gtk_file_chooser_get_filename (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (fsel));
    }

    gtk_widget_destroy (fsel);
}
