This is fixable by removing the `~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist` file.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a system "File Open" dialog.

Expected Results:
- Favorites are shown in the sidebar.

Actual Results:
- Favorites may or may not be shown.

Regression:
Only seen this behavior in OS X 10.11.1
