Comment:

 markjaquith: What do you mean by 'update the file'?

 The scenario (if I understood correctly) is as follows:

 While you are uploading a new stylesheet (or other theme file) via FTP a
 user visits your site. Then file_exists() could fail because the file is
 actually opened by another process than the web server.

 As a result the current theme gets permanently reset to 'default' in
 validate_current_theme().

 IMHO, one second is to long for a timeout.

 Another solution might be to check if the template folder exists and
 assume that index.php and style.css exist in it.
