Apparently what I have called a "bug" is in fact a "feature".

According to http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/index.html
#rnusers-gedit, the color schemes are actually for syntax highlighting,
not for the user interface as I implied. However, I still have yet to
find any mechanism for editing or creating new color schemes so that
they will take account of new .lang files.

As an example I have attached a custom .lang file, which works perfectly
in Feisty, but in Gusty only highlights comments, since the other styles
default to no special formatting. Note that the .lang file does validate
against language.rng from gtksourceview-1.0

** Attachment added: "Custom .lang file that doesn't show highlighting on any 
elements other than comments."
