The image here: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/search.php?q=portfolio for "Portfolio Press" really gives you no idea what the theme looks like for its primary purpose because it won't have portfolio items on initial activation.

I think portfolio themes or other themes that depend on unique content to work correctly might be a good exception to this rule. In this case, the screenshot obscures what the theme is all about.
