> I believe that is because, in my byte-compiled config, `use-package` is no longer required since all `use-package` statements are expanded. This means that `use-package-core` is also no longer required and in that file, a naked (enable-theme 'use-package) statement, which resets all custom random variables, is always executed. This is exactly what happens when I eventually require `use-package`.

Can you try this with the latest emacs-30 branch of the Emacs Git
repository? I believe some changes were done to use-package there,
and they might fix your problem as well.
Thanks.
