Importing explicitly works for me in Fedora 11 (rawhide):
-----------------------------
from Tkinter import *
from tkMessageBox import askyesno
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename

root = Tk()

def ask_file():
   file_name = askopenfilename()
   print file_name

def ask_confirm():
   answer = askyesno()
   print answer

Button(root, text='Ask file', command=ask_file).pack()
Button(root, text='Ask confirm', command=ask_confirm).pack()

root.mainloop()
-----------------------------

That seems a long jump in the reasoning since OP reported the same behavior in 
Suse and Solaris.
