Scratch that, it's not a bug. Condor does set GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE  
in the gridftp job's environment, but only if the port range  
restriction parameters are set in the Condor configuration file.

Condor ignores GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE, but ensures that it's set to  
match Condor's port restriction settings for the gridftp and gahp  
servers. You need to set OUT_HIGHPORT and OUT_LOWPORT in your Condor  
config file:
