Later Tcl 8.5 versions learned to return the current theme by omitting the final argument to "[ttk::style theme use]", but this throws an error on earlier 8.5 versions (e.g., 8.5.7).

InitTheme works around this by catching the error and reading ::ttk::currentTheme instead.

A call to "[ttk::style theme use]" was added to ttext in 30508bc ("Amend tab ordering and text widget border and highlighting.", 2016-10-02). Break out InitTheme's workaround into its own get_current_theme proc and use it in both places.
