On Ubuntu 12.10 is still pretty much an issue.
I believe its a regression on GTK3, since Gnome people already implemented this on GTK2 .

  Comboboxes do not facilitate keyboard navigation

Bug description:
  At present, I see no obvious way to quickly navigate this list via the
  keyboard.  Although one can arrow through the selections, there are a
  lot of them, and the process of finding the right one can be extremely
  tedious, especially if using a screen reader.  The implementation of
  first letter navigation would significantly improve the accessibility
  of this control.
