I've  never seen this happening, but it does look weird.
After the === Entering ...
line you should be seeing some lines which read as:

=== Entering application dialyzer
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/kostis/HiPE/otp/lib/dialyzer/src'
erlc -W  +debug_info +warn_unused_import +warn_obsolete_guard 
+warn_untyped_record +warn_missing_spec_exported -o../ebin dialyzer.erl
erlc -W  +debug_info +warn_unused_import +warn_obsolete_guard 
+warn_untyped_record +warn_missing_spec_exported -o../ebin 
dialyzer_analysis_callgraph.erl
erlc -W  +debug_info +warn_unused_import +warn_obsolete_guard 
+warn_untyped_record +warn_missing_spec_exported -o../ebin 
dialyzer_callgraph.erl
erlc -W  +debug_info +warn_unused_import +warn_obsolete_guard 
+warn_untyped_record +warn_missing_spec_exported -o../ebin dialyzer_cl.erl
....

If you do not see these lines (and the .beam files do exist under 
"lib/dialyzer/ebin") then it's no wonder you get the error you reported.

Hope this helps.
