I opened a thread on the wxPython-users mailing list 
@https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/wxpython-users/7hA7ZXXMx20. The 
suggestions there fix the problem, though I can't be sure because the UI 
continues to randomly lock-up for short intervals quite often. While this is 
probably a different issue, it means I can't comprehensively test the following 
summarized solutions:

#1: get rid of ClusterList.on_size, use built-in auto-layout
ClusterList.__init__
...     
        #self.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.on_size)
        #self.info.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.on_size)
        #self.list.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.on_size)
...
ClusterList.on_size
    #def on_size(self, event):
    #    """Update layouts on size event"""
    #    self.list.Refresh()
    #    self.list.Layout()
    #    self.info.Refresh()
    #    self.info.Layout()
    #    self.Refresh()
    #    self.Layout()

#2: 
ClusterList.__init__
...
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.on_size_self)
        self.info.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.on_size_special)
        self.list.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.on_size_special)
...
ClusterList.on_size*
    def on_size_self(self, event):
        """Update layouts on size event"""
        self.list.Refresh()
        self.list.Layout()
        self.info.Refresh()
        self.info.Layout()
        self.Refresh()
        self.Layout()
        event.Skip()

    def on_size_special(self, event):
        """Under no circusmtances call self.Layout(), will case *massive* problems"""
        pass
