 I came across a bug in the wp-activate.php file.

 This file attempts to load the current theme. However, it does not load
 active plugins. As a result, if the current theme references any functions
 defined by the plugins, an error is thrown.

 This behavior is being caused by the inclusion on line 2 of the statement
 that defines WP_INSTALLING as true. This looks like some kind of hack,
 since obviously WP is not installing. This hack is causing the error I
 have reported.

 The current workaround is commenting out line 2.
