The standard native behavior on OSX for wx.MessageBox is to show the 
application's icon.  In the demo.app that is the message-pole (although 
what is shown in the dock is different because it is using a 
wx.TaskBarIcon) but when you are running without a specific application 
bundle then the system uses Python.app's application bundle and it's 
icon (the rocket) is what is shown in the dock and in message dialogs. 
So in other words, what you are seeing is what is intended, and is also 
what I expect was happening in 2.8.0.1 as well.
