Re: Theme editor (custom-theme-visit-theme) shows only Lisp expressions for faces

This doesn't seem to be a trivial issue.  I can't see any obvious
problems in the file contents you shared.

For me, the issue that only a Lisp expression is offered for edit does
not occur for every face.  Only for those whose definition contains
:inherit or :box specs, or something like that.

But I've failed to debug what is going on.  Does anybody know where and
how these expressions are tried to be matched?

Maybe the order in the definition is indeed significant.  For example,
at some point, custom checks whether the current value is identical to
the "saved" value, such things.  Maybe such a test plays a role here.
