Ok, this definitely seems like an issue with glib 2.32 and Win32, as the same
happens with gtk3, and even with the example modified to use add_idle()
to update the label (only in main thread). Works fine with glib 2.30 and
earlier before the threading changes.

Will take this to the gtk list, sorry for the noise.
