The same problem exists on UNIX/X.

Yes.

The Windows combo box does *not* appear to treat Enter as an indication
that it should display the drop-down list.  I don't know whether there
is a key that *is* a request to display the list; you can cycle through
the entries in the list that begin with a given letter by typing that
letter, at least for non-editable combo boxes, but I don't know how you
can get to see the entire list.
