It's ugly not because of a particular theme, but because it's utterly useless and slightly misguiding (it suggests that the statusbar is something separate and standalone which it's not). Also there's an issue of a left margin; gtk_statusbar pushes the text against the left edge of the frame which is aesthetically bad (and not themable). With gtk_label I added a small skip there and it looks much better now.
I learned something else reading the HIG last night -- if you have interactive status bar widgets (as we do), non-interactive elements (like the message "statusbar") are not supposed to have frames.
So actually, our present statusbar arrangement represents an improvement in HIG conformance.
