I don't know of any problems with XSetDashes.  Please
re-read the Xt documentation.  GCs returned by XtGetGC
must be treated as *read-only*.  The code that you
provided calls XtGetGC multiple times, but always with
the same values, so only one real GC gets created,
into which you store dashes multiple times, only the
last one having any real effect.
