No. The glue of \hfill is discardable if nothing follows on the line, but putting an empty \hbox{} afterwards does the trick:

\dotfill\hfill\hbox{}

For a general solution to get a dotfill of arbitrary length, the following macro can be useful:

\newcommand{\dotrule}[1]{%
   \parbox[t]{#1}{\dotfill}}

Removing the [t] will center the line vertically somewhat. To get the requested length, the following will work and is probably easier to understand than the previous solution:

\dotrule{0.5\textwidth}

Of course… I should never answer a question …

I often used for such thing : \dotfill\hfill\null, which this time do actually the trick ;=)
