Comment (by JeroenReumkens):

 Same thing here. Would be great if the check would be a little more
 reliable. Luckily I noticed that Wordpress told me about a theme update
 before my theme was released to the client, so I could change the theme
 name. But in theory it could mean that one day someone releases a theme
 with the exact same name as one of the themes I've build (probably months
 / years ago). If the client notices this message earlier then I do, they
 will have a broken site.

 Hope the update check can be improved :)
