I noticed something similar:
I'm Using a wxPanel as canvas, to wich i bind the following event
handlers via Connect() method:
wxEVT_MOTION, wxEVT_RIGHT_DOWN, wxEVT_LEFT_UP and some others work
fine.
wxEVT_KEY_DOWN works for wxGTK not for wxMSW
wxEVT_MOUSEWHEEL works for wxGTK and starts working under wxMSW but
stops while application is running.

I had no time to trace this back, so I can't tell if this error is in
my code or in wx.
What I can tell is, that I once noticed a difference between dynamic
and static connection to event handlers.

wx:
[2.8.7 wxMSW]
[svn wxGTK]
