Loading a theme has the unexpected side of effect of making
customizations in the current session saved to the custom-file the next
time it is updated. 

I reproduced this problem by starting Emacs with an new empty user home
directory (since using -q would prevent saving customizations at all).

Then:

M-x customize-variable sentence-end-double-space -- toggle the value,
and Set for Current Session.
M-x load-theme deeper-blue
M-x customize-variable user-full-name -- set a value and Save for Future
Sessions. 

I would expect only the user-full-name to be saved, but the resulting
.emacs file contains:

(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(sentence-end-double-space nil)
 '(user-full-name "Greg Lucas"))
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )



From testing this I've found that at the time I call `load-theme` all
customizations made for the current session will get marked to be saved.
Changes made after load-theme behave as expected and do not get saved
unless I explicitly choose to save them.
