The checkbox does expand just fine, you just can't see it because the 
(empty) label area is the same color as the panel's background.  But in 
in any case, this change will do what you want.

     def SetControl(self, editControl, center=False):
         sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

         if center:
             sizer.Add(editControl, 1, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL)
         else:
             sizer.Add(editControl, 1, wx.EXPAND)
         sizer.AddSpacer(10)
         sizer.Add(self.optionsBox, 0, wx.CENTER)
         sizer.AddSpacer(10)
         sizer.Add(self.buttonSizer, 0, wx.CENTER)
         sizer.AddSpacer(10)

         self.SetSizerAndFit(sizer)

...

         dlg = LeafEditDialog(title='CheckBox')
         dlg.SetControl( wx.CheckBox(dlg, -1, "the label"), True )
         dlg.ShowModal()
