It's not a bug, it's just how HTML works. Put a border on the vp (vp.setBorder(1)) and give the labels a background colour and you will see what you are doing more easily.
The VP is a table, and if you have two TDs and give the table a height, each TD will be half that height (if the content is the same. Therefore your label in the second cell will be at the top of the second cell, but still be half way down the VP You are probably using the wrong widget. Use a FlowPanel, give it a height if you want, and put the labels in that if you want them together with space underneath.
