If a jungler start the game at top lane bush, get FB, but get 1 buff stolen as a result. Is this a net gain or loss?

you'd need to figure out what you gain: exp for kill, gold for kill + first blood gold potentially, as well as setting the enemy laner back in CS and exp (levels) as it is likely that by the time they respawn and make it back to lane, the laner on your own team will also be up in CS And likely a level or even two ahead due to how fast you level early game.

and also what the enemy gains: their jungler will probably gains just a bit of extra gold, maybe enough exp to be one level ahead of you for the earlier part of the game, and sets you slightly back in gold, though probably made up by the kill gold and likely first blood bonus.

personally I think it is worth mainly because it screws up someone on the enemy team and CAN set them behind quite a bit, whereas you lost maybe just one large monster buff which shouldn't be too much gold and exp overall. plus maybe you got your laner some assist gold as well. bam.
