I don't think this is very hard to fix - you currently have an 
intermediate panel as the right-hand-side child of your upper splitter 
window. I made your DUMMYPANEL the direct second child of the splitter 
window and then it all works fine. You were attaching your replacement 
window in the wrong place.

Generally a garbled layout with an element in the top left means that 
something is being attached to thr wrong parent, or added to the wrong 
sizer, or missing a sizer.add call. I've made this mistake a lot of 
times doing wxRuby programming (including earlier today...) and they're 
always fixed by looking closely at the window hierarchy.

OK, this should be fixed with the upcoming 1.9.8 release. Sorry for the 
inconvenience.
