The 'include' statement for template.php (in the 'themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine' file) needs a DRUPAL_ROOT in front of it. Otherwise, trying to run this 'include' when the site is installed in a vhost subfolder fails, with a message such as:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mytheme_customfunction() in /path/to/site/sites/all/modules/custom/custom_module/custom_module.module on line 67

Attached patch fixes this.

The file check is now done when the Extension is created:

      if (!file_exists(dirname($pathname) . '/' . $filename)) {
        $filename = NULL;
      }
      $extension = new Extension($this->root, $type, $pathname, $filename);

And later in Extension::load()

  public function load() {
    if ($this->filename) {
      include_once $this->root . '/' . $this->getPath() . '/' . $this->filename;
      return TRUE;
    }
    return FALSE;
  }
