I'd tend to agree, except that the two lines of extra
code wouldn't work, because gtk_messag_dialog_new_with_markup() 
is currently the only way (other than accessing private struct
fields) to set markup on a message dialog, and neither:
 
 gtk_messag_dialog_new_with_markup(dialog, ..., markup_string);
 gtk_messag_dialog_new_with_markup(dialog, ..., "%s", markup_string); 

Will work - one is vulnerable to embedded %s, the other 
escapes.

That's why I suggested we might want to add a
gtk_messag_dialog_set_markup() that took a fixed string,
like gtk_label_set_markup().
