If whatever bit of bright-and-shiny Ferro received was another "treacherous gift" we won't see the effects until the last few books of the series.

I think it probably was a treacherous gift, though it may have been a relatively simple gambit. One common aspect of dragons is a tendency to hoard treasure. The contents of the coffer might have been something shiny that would occupy Ferrovax's attention while the Black Council made moves in an area that he'd normally be watching or guarding. Less of a bribe and more of a "Look! A distraction!" Ferrovax was once set as some sort of cosmic guardian; might he have been tasked with minding the Outer Gates?
Alternatively, it could have been a bribe, or a gift with some type of corrupting influence, or any number of things. From Ferrovax's reaction (from what I remember, he was at least mildly impressed by the quality of the gift), the thing itself was either impressive in its value or its appropriateness to the situation (or both).

I think it was a bribe and an appropriate gift.
A treacherous gift could give interesting results though. I still do not know what the treacherous gift to Lea did achieve for the Black Council but it turned Mab into an enemy eager to use Harry against them.
If they made Ferrofax into an enemy......

My guess is the gift to Ferrovax was either a bribe to have him leave the Black Council alone or a cursed gift that will screw him over and he might team up with Harry vs the Black Council in the last books.
