last style used sets the fluxbox background at the begining of a new xsession
that inital background is not changed when a new style is selected from the fluxbox style menu.
a new background can still be set using fbsetbg on the commandline.
This sid install has 199 upgradable packages as you can see from the version list below.
I tested earlier on a fully updated sid install.
I grabbed fluxbox version 1.3.0 from snapshot.debian.org and I think that is the first
effected version.

thanks

I'm pretty sure that was intentional. I'll talk with upstream and
check if we have to close this WONTFIX or not.

Cheers!

Well, "good" news,

Looks like this is actually a bug, and not a new feature. Tough to tell.

Thanks for the bug report, I've let upstream know, and we've got a few
reports on this already.

Thanks!

Dear fluxbox maintainer,

seems the problem was not present in Debian version 1.1.1+git20100908.df2f51b-2
of fluxbox (maybe a little help for upstream).

Kind regards
Harald Jenny
