I took a deeper look into this. This isn't upstream fault, e.g. no bug
in mytharchive's sources, but it triggers two other (ugly) bugs in the
same commit :/

a) svn diff cannot cope with binaries. Therefore the diffing had to be
   downgraded to diffutils. This unfortunately introduces fake
   differences due to svn keywords and blows up the patch.

b) patch cannot cope with spaces in paths. I had to rename some themes
   to use underscores instead of spaces. Alternatively one would have
   to patch patch (sound like s/o taking his first swimming lesson ...).

Unless the themes break on the underscores the new packages coming up
shortly should hopefully fix the bug you are seeing.
