This can be triggered with just

 % xvfb-run perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch -e 'use Wx; use Wx::PropertyGrid'                            

The problem seems to be in the wxwidgets3.0 package, whose build logs
on armel and armhf have this:

 dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol _ZNK14wxCommandEvent5CloneEv used by debian/libwxgtk3.0-0/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libwx_gtk2u_propgrid-3.0.so.0.1.0 found in none of the libraries

Olly says this is probably related to #752733 but he's not certain.
I'm cloning a separate bug against wxwidgets3.0 at this point.

The current plan for libwx-perl is to fix the test suite not to crash
but skip the failing tests, and then downgrade this to 'important'. The
attached patches are a first stab at this. I ran out of time tonight and
haven't even run a full 'make test' with these yet, but I don't really
expect problems.
