I've been annoyed by this dialog mis-feature as well, and I've just =
found this debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D641135

My standard terminal is Mac OS X' Terminal.app, using TERM=3Dxterm-color. =
 I've tested this dialog invocation:
$ dialog --menu foo 20 60 12 a one b two c three
Hitting Shift-Tab exits from dialog.

Looking at /etc/termcap, it seems the various xterm definitions lack a =
kB definition.  syscons as well as Terminal.app produces ^]]Z for =
Shift-Tab.

If I set these environment variables:
$ export TERMCAP=3D'xterm-fixed:kB=3D\E[Z:tc=3Dxterm-color:'
$ export TERM=3Dxterm-fixed

dialog behaves correctly.

This article discusses how to add a keybinding for plain xterm to =
produce ^[[Z for Shift-Tab (by default, xterm produces ^I for both Tab =
and Shift-Tab):
http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/user/daveg/Info/backtab-howto.txt

It might be beneficial to add kB=3D\e[Z to the standard xterm entries in =
our termcap.
