Perhaps someone who knows Tcl and tk can tell me, but I notice that in 
the first example, the second part of the widget names are unique, 
whereas in the second example, the second part of the widget names are 
the reused (both "!checkbutton" and "!checkbutton2" occur twice). Is 
that the cause?

Do the names need to be:

.!frame.!checkbutton
.!frame.!checkbutton2
.!frame2.!checkbutton3
.!frame2.!checkbutton4

?
