 == Parent theme incorrectly not getting resolved in WordPress 6.8-beta1
 === Description
 I just installed 6.8-beta1 on a site that is using a child theme and
 noticed that it's parent theme is no longer getting resolved. The themes
 both still appears in the themes listing but the child theme shows that it
 is broken because the parent theme is missing.

 Downgrading to 6.7.2 resolves the issue again.
 According to @fabiankaegy, able to reproduce it with the most bare child
 theme possible off of a core theme.
