How is that done exactly? I've figured out how to use
gnome_vfs/libnautilus to find both the mount point and the device path,
but haven't seen anything about partition label. Is there a portable way
of doing this, or is it something that have to be done independently on
Linux, Mac and Windows?

If it is simple, I can bake it into the patch, but if it is complex and
specialized on all platforms, it should probably be put up as a possible
TODO.
