Spark Themes Shared Layouts Bug when using spark view from shared directory

[sianabanana]

I am using the Theme engine and have a project with a default theme
and two other themes.

One theme has a completely different layout and has its own
application.spark file in a layout directory within the themes folder.

The other two use the same layout and therefore dont have a themed
layout directory and pick up their application.spark from the main
Layouts directory.

This all works fine for all my normal spark views.

However, i have one view which is reused by many controllers, so is
located in the Shared directory.

For this view i get the below error (inc stack trace).

copying in the layouts to the themes folder does fix this, but i would
rather not do this as this means i have two sets of layouts to
maintain and potentially more in future when i have more themes.

Can someone confirm that this is a genuine bug and whether it can be
fixed.

Thanks.
