The current theme solution was built during the 2.1 release to let partners easily customize the look & feel of the OS. As you found out, it's limited to certified apps.
In general, we don't want 3rd party apps to rely on gaia provided content because there's no guarantee this will not change (or even disappear!). Each app should be self contained as much as possible.

In the future, themes will be provided by WebExtensions that can inject stylesheets instead. So I'm marking this bug WONTFIX because we won't make further work on gaia-theme.css support.
