Why not? Its their application and they wanted it to behave like this.
Are they not compliant with GTK style guidelines or any other applicable
specification?

Thats the key point "if fixing is appropriate".
Should we patch the way a (gtk application in general and bluefish in this 
particular case) look has been designed and eventually carry a delta with both 
upstream and Debian (that we will do forever in this particular case), that 
will oblige us to manually solve at every cycle?
We are talking about look and feel here, not about a functional defect or 
malfunction, your opinion that this application should respect the gnome 
toolbar settings is as valid as Daniel's one that it shouldn't (with the 
difference that he is both an upstream developer as well as the Debian 
maintainer).
If you can convince him that it would be nice if his application would honour 
the gnome setting (proposing a patch could certainly help) so that gnome users 
can choose the toolbar settings more appropriate for them that would certainly 
be the best solution.

bluefish doesn't honor the GNOME toolbar settings.
