Eric,
What I suspect is happening is a problem associated with wxwidgets event 
propagation.

A top-level window is created it is associated with an application 
object. The app object will pass events down until it has exhausted all 
possible children that could handle the event. By taking a panel and 
turning it into a window (detaching it from the top-level window), there 
may be a missing association back to the app object. Thus, the undocked 
window will not receive keyboard events from the application.

This is all a guess on my part, but it sounds reasonable. I would have 
to dig into the code to confirm.

Did you file a bug report with your observations?
