I've run into this. It seems to be that there are only certain projections that are supported in FileGDB. I tried to convert data in to the Spherical Mercator projection and none of the projections I used (either epsg, esri epsg, or esri wkt) would work. I believe that Even R. determined that it was a limitation of the FileGDB API currently.
A ticket should be filed so that this can be documented.
