I got something. I logged onto my wife's account because I
have not used Tortoise there and all settings should be at
defaults. I tried the above scenario and it did not hang.
Hmmmmm, It got me thinking ;-)

So I went back to my account and went into "Settings". On
"Dialogs 1" in the checkout section I made the Default path
and URL both blank. I went to "Dialogs 2" and in the "check
for modifications" I unset "contact repository on startup".

It no-longer hangs. Also, after the browser dialog fails to
contact the bogus serve and I hit the OK button, It just
leaves the checkout dialog URL field blank, but it is not
hung.

So, I guess it is caused by some combination of the above
noted settings. I will continue to expirement.
