Re: problem in updateAll
How blind am I? I never spotted that with updateAll(), which is the
only time we use the $fields array in this manner, but then again
whenever I use updateAll() it's to change the value of some flags so
my value must have always been 1 or 0 and therefore worked without an
issue.

It's a bit terse, but basically it's saying that if you want to update
a field with a specific string value, you need to include quotes as
part of the string. Without the quotes, your string is interpreted as
an SQL expression; so your database is thinking that sky is a column
name and not a literal value. This allows you to reference columns in
the value, e.g. array('Post.counter' = 'counter + 1'). Since
updateAll() automatically joins belongsTo tables, this can be
particularly powerful. Note that this applies only to the $fields
array, and differs significantly from the $conditions array.
Your code should be:
$this-Theme-updateAll(array('Theme.name' = '' . $name . ''),
array('Theme.user_id' = $id));

Re: problem in updateAll
The problem is the value sky needs single quotes around it otherwise
MySQL tries to find a field with that name. The bigger problem is I
have no idea why Cake would take the value and not wrap it in single
quotes as it always has done for me no matter what version I have
used.
What do you get if you echo debug($name);? There must be something
odd with that variable for Cake to treat it differently.
What happens if you change your call to:
$this-Theme-updateAll(
array('Theme.name' = 'sky'),
array('Theme.user_id' = $id)
);
