Help text does not respect custom theme #3559
Description
What steps will reproduce the bug?
docker run -d debian:trixie-slim bash -c "
apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl gnupg && \
curl -fsSL https://mise.jdx.dev/gpg-key.pub | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/mise-archive-keyring.gpg && \
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mise-archive-keyring.gpg] https://mise.jdx.dev/deb stable main' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mise.list && \
apt-get update -y && \
apt-get install -y mise && \
mise use bat@latest && \
mkdir -p /root/.config/bat/themes && \
cd /root/.config/bat/themes && \
curl -O https://raw.github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim/main/extras/sublime/tokyonight_night.tmTheme && \

"
# CONNECT TO CONTAINER CREATED ABOVE
$ eval "$(mise activate bash)"
$ export BAT_THEME=tokyonight_night
$ bat --help
[bat warning]: Unknown theme 'tokyonight_night', using default.
...What happens?
Help is displayed using default theme instead of custom theme I downloaded. Cache has been built, and I can see files rendered in the correct theme, but not the help text.
What did you expect to happen instead?
I expected the theme to be loaded and used. The load fails but only for --help screen. If the help screen is not meant to be used with a theme, I would not expect the warning.
How did you install bat?
Use mise running on Docker, see command at the top to replicate the image.
