I think I've had this happen a couple of times in Text Edit over the
years. It's not Lion specific. I think I used the window chooser menu to find
the dialog and then tried to create the document again by restarting Text Edit.
The Safari stuff only seems to happen to me if the website has some kind of
dialog that pops up.
