Building on it being an SSD/race problem, I decided to add a delay before gnome-settings-daemon would start. The relevant file that I changed was /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop. I changed the line:

Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon

to this:

Exec=bash -c "sleep 2; /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon"

to add a 2 second delay. And after rebooting, the theme is now properly applied. Hope this helps in finding a proper fix.
