No, it does, although it could depend on the version of GTK that is 
being used.  For example this PyCrust session on my machine results in a 
frame filled with whatever garbage that was in the uninitialized 
bitmap's memory buffer:


  PyShell 0.9.5 - The Flakiest Python Shell
  Python 2.4.4c1 (#2, Oct 11 2006, 21:51:02)
  [GCC 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  Startup script executed: /home/robind/bin/pythonstartup.py
  >>> import wx
  >>> wx.VERSION
  (2, 6, 3, 3, '')
  >>> f = wx.Frame(None)
  >>> f.Show()
  True
  >>> dc = wx.ClientDC(f)
  >>> dc.SetBackground(wx.Brush("blue"))
  >>> dc.Clear()
  >>> b = wx.Brush("white", wx.STIPPLE)
  >>> b.SetStipple(wx.EmptyBitmap(15,15))
  >>> dc.SetBackground(b)
  >>> dc.Clear()
  >>>
