Of course, if gtk_widget_style_get() only returns 16 when the GDK
version is not GDK3, then this line

    if (w < 16) w = 16;

in update_theme_scrollbar_width() of gtkutil.c does nothing when the
GDK version is not GDK3.

Since we don't need this adjustment with GDK3 (with which
gtk_widget_style_get() returns the correct value from the toolkit), I
replaced the offending line with

    #ifndef HAVE_GTK3
        /*  if (w < 16) w = 16; */
        eassert (w == 16); 
    #endif 

and this seems to fix the bug for me. (Of course, removing the offending
line altogether has the same effect.)

I don't have a GTK2 system to test on, though.

Note: The badness is somehow encoded in my desktop file as well, so to
see that the fix was working I had to rename my desktop file or run with
emacs --no-desktop.
