I confirmed that I can work around it in Maverick with a patch that disables menu redirection menu unsetting the environment variables before doing anything with wxPython, though I'm still not sure if I can fix it for Lucid users of the PPA.
I'll probably release this for 0.8.1 and then see if I can reproduce it with a trivial wxPython app (maybe the demo) and file a wx bug as well and hopefully figure out where the problem is.
