Probably, but maybe it is the timing of other events related to the 
change in focus, that are resulting in the focus being shifted away from 
the button...  Just a shot in the dark.

However it works for me with an immediate test too.  Here obj is one of 
the generic buttons in the sample that doesn't currently have the focus, 
and while waiting for the timer to expire I manually make the main 
window the active one:

     >>>
     >>> def test():
     ...     obj.SetFocus()
     ...     shell.write("%s\n" % (wx.Window.FindFocus() is obj))
     ...
     >>> wx.CallLater(4000, test)
     <wx._core.CallLater instance at 0x187c88c8>
     >>> True
