Thank you for explaining the problem. As a developer of a free software program using GTK+ I consult the documentation to choose suitable widgets to communicate with the users of my program. Having invested effort in this it is exasperating to discover that GTK+ chooses a default theme that cripples one of the widgets - by failing to draw a frame around the contents the user can no longer see clearly what is being grouped by the frame. >From Chris Vine's reply (thank you too, Chris) I gather that this is a bug which has been rectified in more recent versions of the default theme - I am currently summoning up my courage to upgrade to Debian Jessie, and most people I guess will have even more recent versions. So I can treat this as a closed issue.
