Wouldn't it be nicer to have dummy/fallback entry for unknown/nonexistent label
type, e.g. 'no_label'. It's operations could return something like
NO_LABEL_PLS_CREATE_IT_FIRST. fdisk_context would be initialized to
point to this dummy label type and later overridden by successful label
probe.

Is the ordering of labels important here? If so, it should be documented.

Uh, may be I'm missing something, but why not just make cxt->label
point to corresponding entry from *labels array?
