Comment:

 re-opening, because I'm foreseeing a possibly trickier issue.

 consider a user with the simplest theme possible. two files, index.php and
 style.css, that currently relies on get_header(), get_sidebar() and
 get_footer(). that user is currently relying on the default theme. making
 him use twentyten all of the sudden makes no sense.

 in other words, we should: during the upgrade, add an option with a value
 of default; and during installs, add an option with a value of twentyten.
 and then use the option to set the define.

 alternatively, we could tell these handful of users (there can't be that
 many) to add the appropriate define in their wp-config.php file. in this
 case, the existing fix works wonders.
