Ok, got it.
The problem is that allow_grow is not a method, per se, but an attribute
of Gtk::Window. We try to be smart and create settors/accessors at
runtime if you call something like $object->arg_name() or 
$object->arg_name($value), but this only works if $object is of the
same type the arg_name belongs to.
I din't catch this earlier because in the tests I called first 
$window->allow_grow() and then $dialog->allow_grow() and this works 
correctly.
Until the next release, as a workaround in the generated code you can use 
$dialog->set('allow_grow', 1);

Thanks for your bug reports.
