That's because the views weren't loaded before you did that (maybe
that's what you meant).

It works like this:

When a window is created, it goes through the directory with views,
basically dlopens them and loads an init function from each of them,
which it then executes. This init function sets up the view and as part
of this it creates gobject objects, which for the first instance
registers its type with the type system. So somehow the type system
doesn't get that the type is already registered. I have no idea why
though. It's not necessarily a problem with your linking, we might do
something that just happens to work on e.g. Linux.
