I think I've found at least some of the source of the confusion:

First of all, I was able to replicate the problem on Debian Sarge  
using the compiled HTML Demo sample from the wxWidgets webpage, so I  
tried to debug it. When I found that I couldn't set the breakpoint  
you requested earlier, I took a look at the shared libraries and  
found that that version is statically linked to libwx* (and without  
debugging symbols), meaning that what it does has nothing at all to  
do with how I (or Richard) built wxWidgets.

So I went looking for it in my (CVS) source tree, and found it in  
samples/html/test/. That version (which is a Unicode debug build)  
doesn't display the error box. I had last updated in May, so I  
updated today, rebuilt, and retested. Same result.
