As a first guess I'd say scrolling over the scrollbar uses GTK+'s scrolling code which gained smooth scrolling abilities in 3.4 while scrolling over the picture uses eog's scrolling code which doesn't do smooth scrolling. As I agree with you about unifying the scrolling behaviour, I'd like to ask you to report this as a bug in our Bugzilla.
