A better way of putting it is that "Instant" Spells (Cast and that's it) can't be negated as they don't go "on the field". Any lingering effects of theirs (Dragon Barrier's protection for example) also remain intact under Frozen Star as there is no "card" to negate.

Set Spells are placed on the field, so they are affected by it.

For how you can imagine it, think of Frozen Star as.... well..... blanking all cards with effects that are on and remain on the field (ignoring Non-Nullify cards). Since it's a blank card when it leaves the field, it doesn't apply anything when it's sent to the drop.

I suppose you can contact Bushi for further clarification or something.

As for the rulings;

Not every game is gonna apply the same rulings to every occurance. Just because MTG was the first major success of modern TCGs does not mean every game has to adopt it's ruling, changing it to their theme. Different games, even those of the same genre, can differ. You just have to adapt to them.
