Sounds like there is a problem with the version reported by the Gentoo 
build. What do you see if you press MENU and click 'About' when on the 
main menu screen?

Anyway we think the problem with only version 1.0 being available for 
0.27, 0.27.1, 0,27.2 and 0.27.3 users should be fixed when the theme 
update script runs next around 4:40 UTC so you should pick up the new 
version after that.
