That's because those themes are installed in a systemwide location. When you
download themes from the store using the "get new [thing]" downloader, it
places them in your home directory. So they aren't accessible from the
perspective of the root user, which you're running the app as.

I did no such thing (and neither did anyone else), but regardless, you
shouldn't do that because it will cause a ton of other problems for you and
you'll be fighting with weird issues until the heat death of the universe. Just
Say No. :)
What we can perhaps do is allow downloaded themes to optionally be installed
systemwide. But note that even this will not work in the next-generation of
immutable OSs (bug 454509).
