It doesn't work for Qt either.
In both cases it seems that eventa sent through the reverse communication
pipe (from the display thread to the main thread) are being buffered rather
than being processed synchronously.

I tried adding a m_socket->flush() command in Qt, but that didn't help.

I suppose the problem in wxt has something to do with the select() at
line 3579 of wxt_gui.cpp.

This must be a standard problem, but I'm not familiar enough with either
wxWidgets or Qt to know the standard answer.
