bug#8454: 24.0; Emacs does not apply additional custom faces from theme

[Christoph Scholtes]

I downloaded a custom theme from elpa
(http://elpa.gnu.org/themes/2lzrreXz) and added some faces at the bottom:

 ; erc
 '(erc-default-face ((t (:inherit default))))
 '(erc-my-nick-face ((t (:inherit font-lock-variable-name-face))))
 '(erc-current-nick-face ((t (:inherit font-lock-string-face))))
 '(erc-input-face ((t (:inherit font-lock-type-face))))
 '(erc-keyword-face ((t (:inherit font-lock-keyword-face))))
 '(erc-timestamp-face ((t (:inherit font-lock-builtin-face))))
 '(erc-notice-face ((t (:inherit font-lock-comment-face))))

These faces inherit their values from the faces set in the custom theme.

The problem is, none of the custom faces for erc are actually
applied. Emacs still has the original erc faces.
