I certainly see no problem in adding it to lablgtk.
The reason there is no such binding is only that lablgtk (even in its
threaded version) doesn't use glib threads (relying on ocaml threads
for synchronization is simpler). But I don't think glib threads would
break anything.

In the midtime, if you are building your own bindings, there should be
no problem in adding it on your side. This is just some C code, which
doesn't really need to be bound on the ML side.
