I'm not sure what is wrong, but the approach I'd take to debug it is:
  - Use firebug to see if the page is getting a 404 trying to load any 
of the resources required by dojo.  This is the most likely cause if it 
was working before you created the custom build
  - Replace your dojo.js file with the dojo.js-uncompressed.js file also 
created by the build process.  This one contains comments and debug 
info.  See if any errors are now displayed
  - Find the combobox code in dojo.js-uncompressed.js and use 
breakpoints in firebug to find out exactly what's happening.

Let me know how you go.
