Comment (by flixos90):

 This issue also affects the Theme Install screen. The problem is less
 likely to happen because WordPress assumes a theme is installed when
 seeing the directory of that name. To recreate the issue (without the
 patch of course): Go to the Theme Install screen, then create a directory
 that matches the slug of a theme, then back on the WordPress patch try to
 install - it will produce the exact same result. In
 [attachment:37531.3.diff] I adjusted `wp_ajax_install_theme()` to include
 the error code as well, similar as in `wp_ajax_install_plugin()`.
