Comment:

 What those keybindings do is controlled by GTK+ plus, the default theme
 just uses the GTK+ internal by-word movement. It would seem, given your
 description that the by-word movement doesn't have the logical vs. visual
 distinction that the by-letter movements do.

 The values in question are GTK_MOVEMENT_LOGICAL_POSITIONS (logical
 letter), GTK_MOVEMENT_VISUAL_POSITIONS (visual letter), and
 GTK_MOVEMENT_VISUAL_POSITIONS (apparently logical words).

 This is probably best filed with the GTK+ folks, but I can't imagine no
 one has noticed this before so I imagine there must be an existing bug for
 this already and/or that they don't consider this a bug (though I can't
 really see that being the case either as this is decidedly odd).
