Thanks, that has sorted it out.

(The original code for the non-tabbed dialog put the controls directly
on the dialog rather than on an intermediate panel, and called Fit()
and SetSizer() in that order, and worked. The colleague who wrote it
says he got the recipe out of WxPython In Action. So what's best
practice?)

Yes. I realised that my minimal failing example wasn't quite really
minimal as I was posting, and edited on the fly. Incorrectly 8-)
