FileDialog default directory reset to current directory

On GTK using the wx.FileDialog in wx.SAVE mode, it seems
that the
defaultDir is ignored and set to the current directory if
the
defaultFile is set to non-empty string.  E.g. this

        dlg = wx.FileDialog(
            self, message="Save file as ...",
defaultDir="/tmp",
            defaultFile="blah", wildcard=wildcard,
style=wx.SAVE
            )

results in the dialog showing the current directory, but
this:

        dlg = wx.FileDialog(
            self, message="Save file as ...",
defaultDir="/tmp",
            defaultFile="", wildcard=wildcard,
style=wx.SAVE
            )

will show the dialog in the /tmp directory.

I did find it could be worked around by following the dialog
creation with:

dlg.SetDirectory("/tmp")
