To replicate:

1) Create /sites/all/themes/sub_theme/sub_theme.info
2) Add this to the .info file

; $Id:
name = Sub Theme
description = Testing the usage of a sub theme
version = VERSION
core = 6.x
base theme = garland

3) Enable the theme.

In the theme manager it shows the screenshot.png but otherwise doesn't work. I have tested this on an upgrade to 6.3 and a fresh install of 6.3. This did work on 6.2

Any chance this is connected to http://drupal.org/node/197124 ?

Rolling back that patch does not fix the issue.

That patch is definitely causing this problem. See my post there.
