I'd rather not disable theming for these faces.
In all the cases, when I'm happy with a theme, I just want to add minor
tweaks to an existing face while leaving existing attributes as-is.
I didn't read color-theme.el, but my guess is that it doesn't see nil as
an explicit value to set. You can see the same behavior while trying to
set :bold nil as opposed to :weight normal.
It's not such as a big problem for me, as after loading the theme I
generally override complex faces (that I want to change between
background modes, for example) directly with color-theme-install-faces
in cumulative mode.
But when I try out a new mode, my first go-to approach is to test the
face parameters with customize. In this case, you're baffled as
unchecking a parameter might will not override the theme.
