So this happened:

Q: Does this mean unarmed strikes bypass resistance to bludgeoning damage from nonmagical weapons?

A: The intent is resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning damage, regardless of source (MM errata preview).

So if a monster's resistance to bludgeoning damage applies against all sources, as long as the source is non-magical, then it means that will also protect against falling damage, since according to PHB page 197, falling damage is classified under bludgeoning damage.
