The switch_theme action will run when the previous theme is still  
effectively active as during the page load the switch happens the old  
themes functions.php is still included.

You best bet is to do something on the init action for now.

But it would be good to open a ticket in trac requesting a way for  
this to be achieved.

I think we need an activation hook for the theme which runs on the  
first page load that a theme is active for in the admin
