I had run into the same security 'features' a few months back when creating (yet
another) version of zenburn. As a user and designer of color themes, I would
prefer not to have any restrictions, which seem out of place in an editor whose
raison d'être is letting its users do what they want. All .el files are code
(and data) and should be treated equally.

In any case, I have stumbled on a 'solution'; I explicitly load the theme file
in my init file:

(load-file (concat dotfiles-dir "themes/zendust-theme.el"))

Then the defvars for defining colors and :inherit stuff seem to work. I have no
idea if this has unwanted side effects.

My theme is at https://github.com/yarkun/zendust
