Comment (by azizur):

 I have now tested it using absolute path and found another issue.

 Now if you have (in wp-config.php):

 {{{
 define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/DocRoot/wp-content/'); // <- absolute path
 define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'your-url');
 }}}

 Then use a 'mu-plugin' that register the additional theme directory.

 {{{
 register_theme_directory('/DocRoot/wordpress/wp-content/themes'); // <-
 absolute path
 }}}

 Now try to customize the theme.
 {{{
 Fatal error: Call to a member function theme() on a non-object in
 /data/site.com/wordpress/wp-admin/customize.php on line 66
 }}}

 Moving wp-content folder] Documentation may need to be updated to mention
 about absolute vs relative path so its clear in its example given.
