Subject: 27.0.50; Error (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) thrown when calling
 (load-theme 'solarized-dark t)
Date: Sun, 1 Sep 2019 17:07:14 +0200

1. Call emacs -Q
2. Call "M-x load-theme" interactively
3. Error is thrown: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
4. Same happens with (load-theme '<some-theme> t) or "M-x
customize-themes"
Did not have this error 3 weeks ago when I last built emacs from source.

5. With debug-init and loading my init file, the backtrace looks as
follows:

I looked for preloaded defcustoms with similar issues, but didn't find any.
