James Andres commentedLeft some debugging stuff in the first patch. Use this one instead.

damienmckennajamesandres: I've noticed that the blocks are not compiled during the install process but rather afterwards, which can be verified by running a bare install and looking at the blocks table right afterwards. Do you use _block_rehash() to compile the initial list first, so there are no records for install_set_block() to update?
Comment #4
damienmckennaI've noticed a problem.. I assign a new default theme but then when I run block functions, e.g. _block_rehash() to re-hash all of the available blocks, it still happens on the Drupal default Minnelli rather than on the theme I've added.
Comment #5
damienmckennaIt turns out that the problems I was experiencing are because of #399212: install_default_theme() should set the $theme_key global and #399224: Blocks not rehashed after module installation, so blocks cannot be correctly modified.

damienmckennaThis patch works well, I used it as part of a fairly complete install profile.
