This is actually not a bug, but the phrasing of the buzz bonus is super confusing. The buzz bonus actually activates in the absence of a fireplace in the polterguest room. In other words, there should not be a fireplace in the room, and then the buzz bonus will activate. I feel the developers simply need to rephrase these buzz bonuses a little, so that it's more clear what is meant.

I lack 5 buzz t complete an objective to have 40 Buzz in a Polterguest Room. In order for my Plebeian Ghost to generate maximum Buzz, it needs an Antique Fireplace, which I provide in the room. However, the game / the ghost will not recognize it as being in the room, thus not fulfilling the maximum Buzz it can generate.
This has happened before with Botany plants;
