I create widgets in loops.  No problem.  

I bet you have a straight C error, not gtk error, although it could be a
'gtk usage' error.  Without seeing the code that works and the code that
fails, I can't really say much more.

What are you returning from the timeout function, TRUE in all cases? 
The only reason I can think of that gtk_label_set_text would stop your
timeout would be if it affected your return value.  Your timeout must
return TRUE to continue to be called.  (Apologies if you know and have
checked this.  Making guesses at your problem.)
