register_theme_directory and broken deploys

There is a bug in class-wp-upgrader.php: WordPress is using the fixed path WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/themes' and doesn’t use get_theme_root().

I have written a patch 7 months ago … which was too late for WordPress 3.6 – the fix was delayed just today.

So use my patch, or jump in on Trac and explain why this is important.
