This is a confirmed bug which appearently has been open for quite a while. After trying around a little bit, this workaround seems to do it:

    menuBar = wx.MenuBar()
    fileMenu=wx.Menu()
    tempitem = fileMenu.Append(-1,"X")       # !!!
    tempitem.SetBitmap(getBmp())             # !!!
    item = fileMenu.Append(wx.ID_NEW, "New")
    fileMenu.Remove(tempitem.GetId())        # !!!
    item.SetBitmap(getBmp())
    item = fileMenu.Append(wx.ID_OPEN, "Open")
    item.SetBitmap(getBmp())
    item = fileMenu.Append(wx.ID_SAVE, "Save")
    item.SetBitmap(getBmp())
    menuBar.Append(fileMenu, "File")
    self.SetMenuBar(menuBar) 

Note that the position of the fileMenu.Remove call is the earliest position that works, but you can also move it to the bottom. HTH.
