I'm using Emacs on the master branch so hopefully this is the right
place to report bugs.
My init.el fails on the call to load-path leaving the following
backtrace (from the point load-theme is called):
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
file-directory-p(nil)
custom-theme--load-path()
load-theme(havoc-dark t)
Digging deeper, this is caused by the fact that the variable `custom-
theme-directory' has been reset to nil.
This bug is reproducible without any code from my init.el file.
To reproduce
1. launch Emacs with `emacs -Q`
2. M-x describe-variable
3. Enter `custom-theme-directory`
4. Help screen will show that the value of the variable is nil and that
originally it was equal to "~/.emacs.d"
The last point suggests that this variable got changed somewhere.
My current workaround is to manually set this variable in my init.el
file before the call to load-theme.
Happy to help with further debugging! I could also try to provide a fix
if others are too busy, but would require some steering as to where to
look to implement the fix. Also, I would only be able to handle this
after 11 September.

Please try again with the latest master, I think Paul has just fixed
this.
