If both wxpython and wx libraries are bundled, then maybe the bundled wxpython is not in the python path (it should be in etc/python in the GRASS app package).

Are you using the system wxpython or did you install a binary from wxpython.org? (note: the system wxpython is a bit old, though it fits the minimum needed for GRASS)

Are you explicitly bundling wxpython?  If not, it's odd that it thinks the wx libraries are bundled (the "expected in..." part of the error).
