Hmmm frustratingly I was trying to record a Screencast to demonstrate the problem on my iPad today and it worked flawlessly. I was able to create a new document in Pages, save it to Dropbox, and changes would save as expected without the application or the Files app hanging.
Not sure if this is a result of software updates, but will keep an eye on it and report back if the problem reoccurs with me.
