Why can't I detect when an AuiNotebook page is closed?

I'm binding the EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGE event to the AuiNotebook successfully, but EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSE and EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSED both do nothing. The bound handler is never run. My construction and binding code looks like this:

self.notebook = wx.aui.AuiNotebook(self)
self.Bind(wx.aui.EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CLOSE, self.on_page_close)
self.Bind(wx.aui.EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED, self.on_page_changed)

And my event handler simply looks like this:

def on_page_close(self, event):
    print 'Page closed', event

Why don't the page close events do anything?

Just in case, here is the full source file with the relevant lines highlighted.

The close events are not triggered when pages are removed using DeletePage or RemovePage, only when they are closed using the little close buttons. There are no methods for programmatically closing a page that will trigger the page close events, so what ever on-close routines you want to perform, you have to put them in a separate function and call them both from the close event handler and from all the functions that invoke RemovePage or DeletePage.
