The custom scrollbars that can be applied by CSS with pseudo selectors do not respond to code for transitions.
Do you have a test case that you could attach to this bug, or an example of this happening on a real web site? I'm not sure if this description is sufficient to tackle the issue.

If you visit my blog, http://jackdurrant.com in a WebKit browser, you'll notice that I have mouse hover transitions working everywhere except for on the scrollbar, or more specifically, ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb. This isn't a big deal, but CSS3 transitions are something that I think adds to the clean look of my blog.
We don't support transitions/animations on anonymous content (bug 92591).
The linked bug is fixed. ::before and ::after now support transitions. Can this be fixed for the scrollbar shadow DOM now?
