Comment:

 I'd say that this was and is by design. Blocks are not supposed to be
 registered in themes. Instead you should have dedicated plugins which
 register blocks. The WordPress.org theme directory also
 [https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/#5
 -functionality-and-features doesn't allow blocks to be included] and tools
 like [https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-
 guides/packages/packages-create-block/ @wordpress/create-block] make it
 quite easy to create plugins for blocks.

 [attachment:"fix.diff"] has a few issues: It hardcodes the directory names
 for plugins and themes and there are more functions which only expect
 blocks to be in plugins, for example `_wp_multiple_block_styles()`.
