Mounting a File Server from alias in the Dock

Just stumbled across this little "problem."
If you mount a FileServer and then make an alias of it and put it in the dock, without saving your password in keychain.
Then disconnect and try to reconnect using the alias in the dock then OS X brings up the connect to server dialog, but won't take any keystrokes.
You can't type in anything in Username or Password text boxes. But everything else about the window functions normally.
Strange thing is that if you double-click on the alias anywhere else in finder, it allows you to type in the text fields.

Anyone know why this happens?
 
I keep a Favorites Folder at the Root of the drive and drag mounts in there and have the Favorites folder in the Dock and don't have this problem.
