Review of attachment 361211 [details] [review]:

No, this is wrong:

  - the theme sources are in a git submodule

  - we include the generated CSS to not depend
    on sassc

Whether or not you have sassc installed has nothing to do with whether or not you ran `git submodule update --init`.

I suspected as much, thanks.

In that case the bug remains valid, but the fix should be for someone to document what you just said...
