 When template-loader reaches the last case in the if statement, it checks
 for only the parent theme's index.php. Template-loader should first check
 for the child's index.php, then the parent's index.php. It should use
 locate_template, which will check for both the parent and the child and
 behave accordingly.

 To replicate the bug, make a parent and child theme each with only
 index.php. In no instances should the parent's index.php be shown, but on
 archive pages (and others) it will appear.

 For easier bug replication:[[BR]]
 1. Make a child theme of twentyten with a blank index.php[[BR]]
 2. Delete twentyten's archive.php[[BR]]
 3. Navigate to an archive page
