By lurking at the wxFlatNotebook CVS, I see that Eran is working
somewhat to a tighter integration with wxAUI. I am not 100% sure I can
push FlatNotebook as he can do with wxFlatNotebook with wxAUI, because
wxAUI is wrapped in wxPython now and there might be something
implemented by Eran that I could not just translate to wxPython.
However, We are working on them :-D

Yes, it is a bug indeed. I wrote to Eran just to see which is the best
solution in his opinion, though I don't think it will be so
complicated to do in wxPython. Thanks for the report! And stay tuned,
the new version of FlatNotebook is being uploaded :-D
