Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 > As a block theme may instead use `block-templates/index.html` for BC
 reasons [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/3dcdd4b799de1442fa76f3b71b84485362fce83a/src/wp-includes
 /class-wp-theme.php#L1484 ref], should the PR also account for this file?

 Yes, it should.

 I think this is a wider bug, neither of the following check for the legacy
 folder configuration:

 * `validate_current_theme()`
 * `WP_Theme::__construct`

 @aristath or @poena, could I get a logic check on this, would this be
 problematic in any way?
