Comment:

 Sorry for the inconvenience, rogercoathup.

 `bp_core_load_template()` is really only supposed to support bp-default
 themes.  The commit that is referenced above is meant to save a
 `file_exists()` call and force developers to use theme compatibility.

 To use theme compatibility with your plugin, see how BP does it with the
 Members Directory in the `BP_Members_Theme_Compat` class:
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.1.1/src/bp-members
 /bp-members-screens.php#L266

 Check out line 296 in the `is_members()` class method as well as the
 `directory_template_hierarchy()`, `directory_dummy_post()` and
 `directory_content()` class methods for more info.

 You'll basically want to make a copy of the `BP_Members_Theme_Compat`
 class and modify it to suit your plugin's needs.

 In the meantime, I'm going to mark this as invalid, but feel free to
 comment for further feedback.
