Thank you for the report and the clear test-case. It's a bug; the wrong 
C++ method signature was in one of the header files from which the API 
is generated.

It's now fixed by SVN:1486 for the next release. If you need to work 
around n the interim, you should can use the long form of append_item 
and give Wx::ITEM_CHECK as the fourth parameter.
