There doesn't seem to be much, just an explanation from Robin Dunn what the error is about:

<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wxpython/50913>
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.wxwidgets.general/55556>

The wxPython Mac list doesn't appear to be searchable but I downloaded the mbox archive and possibly found some background information in a thread:

<http://lists.wxwidgets.org/pipermail/wxpython-mac/2007-April/002231.html>

Not much help in terms of fixing the issue but it looks like the switch from QuickDraw to CoreGraphics caused a big performance hit in code that was calling wx.ClientDC....maybe that forced the restriction? The switch had to be done because Leopard and beyond will not supply a 64-bit QuickDraw (presumably it's a Carbon API).

I'll get Aaron on the user list to try out my "hack" to see if it works OK with Leopard.
