Why does python 2.7.2 pygtk segfault parsing a glade GtkButtonBox?

Here are the steps to reproduce my problem: I designed a UI in glade 3.10.0 including a GtkButtonBox containing 4 buttons:

<object class="GtkButtonBox" id="i_bbox">
<property name="visible">True</property>
[...] some children (buttons)

The glade file gets loaded into the python script:

builder_fname = "example_layout.glade"
self.root = gtk.Builder()
self.root.add_from_file(builder_fname)
self.root.connect_signals(self)

When the script gets executed, it segfaults with the following traceback:

./example.py:37: Warning: cannot create instance of abstract (non-instantiatable) type `GtkButtonBox'
self.root.add_from_file(builder_fname)
[1]    5088 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./example.py

Does someone have an idea how to fix this? I'm using pygtk 2.24.0

The warning seems to hint that you need to use GtkHButtonBox or GtkVButtonBox versus GtkButtonBox ... do those segfault?
