I know. A really stupid limitation IMHO. I even had to replace gtk_statusbar by gtk_label to enable this. An added bonus is that this got rid of the ugly statusbar frame :)
The frame being ugly is a a matter of the theme you use. I don't like the idea, since I'm theming.
It's ugly not because of a particular theme, but because it's utterly useless and slightly misguiding (it suggests that the statusbar is something separate and standalone which it's not). Also there's an issue of a left margin; gtk_statusbar pushes the text against the left edge of the frame which is aesthetically bad (and not themable). With gtk_label I added a small skip there and it looks much better now.
