Comment (by dd32):

 Traced this to [31124] which changed `$old_wp_version` from well, the old
 WP version to the version of WP being updated to.. so of course, new items
 didn't get installed because it thought WordPress had already updated past
 that point.

 Merging this as-is to 4.7.1 will result in the following:
  - 4.6 -> 4.7.1: Twenty Seventeen will be installed.
  - 4.7 -> 4.7.1: Twenty Seventeen should've already been installed, and as
 such, is skipped.

 Unfortunately I don't see a viable option here, any existing users who
 want Twenty Seventeen and have already updated to 4.7 just have to use the
 Theme Installer - which they probably have already done.
