You didn't give the recipe for using customize-themes which you say
doesn't work unless you unset the colors. That was the reason you
needed to unset the colors to begin with, right? Or did I
misunderstand you?
Once again: unsetting colors as you did will affect the default face
on all frames, which is not what you want. So if you really need ti
change the default colors, I suggest using set-face-foreground and
set-face-background, which can be told to change the colors only for a
certain frame. And if you don't need to change the colors, but need
customize-themes to work, then let's talk about your problem with
customize-themes, and forget about changing the default face, which
you say was just a workaround.

Please show a recipe for such a failure in customize-themes, starting
with "emacs -Q".

AFAIU, it _is_ related, because you explained that you didn't really
need to change the colors, except as a workaround for a problem you
have with customize-themes.

You didn't unset the colors, you've customized the default face.

You are using Customize for a job for which it wasn't intended. Font
size problems aside, using Customize like that will never do what you
want. Why do you insist on using a command for a job that is not what
you want?
