 Cannot update themes using wp_ajax_update_theme when templates aren't
 located in the theme root folder.

 Sample folder structure:

 {{{
 /wp-content/themes/my-theme/templates/style.css
 /wp-content/themes/my-theme/templates/functions.php
 /wp-content/themes/my-theme/templates/index.php
 }}}


 The template name is defined as "my-theme/templates", but
 "wp_ajax_update_theme" is striping the slash so it becomes "my-
 themetemplates". This is why it's unable to locate the theme and not
 starting the update process.

 admin/includes/ajax-actions.php#L4118

 Is this the desired behavior?
