I think Kerr's charcoal style variation needs disabling too. It's mentioned on Automattic/wp-calypso#78559 and the footer looks broken to me

Kerr doesn't seem to be in the themes repo.

Sure, I just added it to the list of related issues.

Fixing Zoologist is OOS (the problem isn't a side effect of propagating base theme style variations), it doesn't extend a base theme. The White variation is defined inside the Zoologist theme folder.
