I think the current behavior is correct.  The KEY_UP/DOWN events are 
supposed to give you a unique (raw) value for the key itself, not 
necessarily the same as the (cooked) value the key is supposed to 
represent.  In other words in this case it's a numpad key so you'll get 
the WXK_NUMPAD_UP code for the key events, but the key is intended to be 
used for either an up arrow or an 8, so you get WXK_UP or 8 for the char 
event.

Can you provide some sample code that shows this problem?

Because it's not a wxBitmapButton specific style, it is a general border 
style that can be used with any widget type.  Each widget however is 
able to use or ignore border styles as they see fit.

There was a workaround for this shown in a message yesterday about 
navigation key events.
