I too seem to be having a similar problem. I have a locally installed WP 2.7 blog and had downloaded and installed 2 new themes into the wp-themes folder. They both appeared and I tried them but was not satisfied with them so I brought in another one but it would not appear in the admin area but the others did.

I also tried to upgrade one of the new themes (Gear) to an announced upgrade but the automatic upgrade would not work. It said it could not delete the plug-in. I them deleted the original vertion and put in the upgrade manually but the new one does not appear.

I have also brought in another theme which says it is for 2.7 but it too will not appear.

Now, what I have noticed is that each time I have a theme in the themes folder which does not appear a message at the bottom of the themes admin page appears as Broken Theme saying the following themes is installed but not complete. It does not name a theme but has the message “Stylesheet is missing.” Looking in the theme folders shows the style.css file so I am stumped.

Any clues to my dilemma would be gratefully appreciated.
