Manage Themes message on custom theme

[mikepratt]

Not sure if this is a bug, but worth considering. Just updated to trunk-2286 (although this had been happening since the 2100's). Running wpmu 2.8.6.
Steps:

1. Create a duplicate to b-default theme
2. mod theme info in style.css to

/*
Theme Name: Bugle Notes
Theme URI: ​http://buglenotes.com
Description: The new 2.0 theme for Bugle Notes
Version: 2.0
Author: Mike Pratt
Author URI: ​http://mikepratt.tv
*/

3. rename theme folder to 'bn2'
4. Activate & Select

Result: This message just below 'Manage Themes'

"BuddyPress is ready. You'll need to activate a BuddyPress compatible theme to take advantage of all of the features. We've bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes."

The theme works fine and this seems to have no effect. However, you could see how this would lead many to believe their theme is not quite BP ready or activated or that something is not right.

Is there something in the steps I took that render the theme not "BuddyPress compatible" (can't imagine there would be given what I did)

Don't want this to be a point of confusion for users going forward

The theme must have a buddypress tag in the comment header:

Tags: buddypress

This may be a bug, as on a Multi user Installation, I understand the message on the Main site dashboard(where buddypress is activated). Once you activate bp compatible theme, it goes away.

But displaying this nag on the sub blogs is not good. We do not need to edit each and every sub blog theme hide this message. And on Mu each and every theme which may be used on sublogs does not need to be compatible with Buddypress.

correcting , syublogs is sub blogs.
Further, I have bp-default active on the main site(where bp is used) and when I activate a wp theme on one of the sub blogs, I see the message on the sub blog's dashboard.

(In [2329]) Fixes #1576 - only show activation notice on root blog.
