G'day perltux,

"... but despite trying various subwidget targets ..."

I often find checking the source code provides answers for this type of issue. In this case, &SetBindings, in http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SREZIC/Tk-804.033/Tixish/BrowseEntry.pm, has: 

    ...
    # bindings for listbox
    my $sl = $w->Subwidget('slistbox');
    my $l = $sl->Subwidget('listbox');
    $l->bind(...

I don't have MSWin to check your specific OS problem.

The DESCRIPTION of Tk::BrowseEntry starts:

"BrowseEntry is a poor man's ComboBox."

Instead of rolling your own bindings, and potentially other functionality, for Tk::BrowseEntry, perhaps consider using one of the more feature-rich widgets, such as Tk::JBrowseEntry or Tk::JComboBox.
