It's not a bug.  It's a lack of a custom property editor --
well, sort of.  

What you can do is define the borders you wish to 
use in the member declaration section (where JBuilder 
writes statements such as 

  GridControl gridControl1 = new GridControl();

You write:

  Border bevelBorder = BorderFactory.create...(...); 
  // I don't have the PC on, so this is from memory.
  // If you "Browse symbol at cursor" with the cursor in 
  // "BorderFactory", you will easily be able to finish
  // the above statement.

Do this for all the borders you need for your frame.  
Quite magically, once you have done this, <none> will 
be replaced by a list of the names of all the borders 
you have created.
