I dealt with this, thanks to suggestions on this list by writing my own 
little modeule that calls these TK dialogs and withdraws the top level main 
app.  Since I use these things in scripts, that seems to work pretty well.
Here is an example:

import Tkinter
import tkMessageBox
def InfoBox(Title=None, Message=None):

    root =Tkinter.Tk()
    root.withdraw()     # Prevent spurious root window from showing
    message = tkMessageBox.showinfo(title=Title, message=Message)
    root.destroy()
    return message
