Doom Themes is clobbering the ability to set the background of completions-highlight face.

This is in relation to my previous submission - How can I change the colour of the highlight line in M-x for the light ef-themes?

The problem starts which a doom theme is selected, and after that the background colour of the selected completion item can't be changed.

The completions-highlight face is inherited from modus-themes-completion-selected.

I thought it was a problem with ef-themes but the problem seems to come from doom-themes. It appears to override the customization functions, or it changes the way the completion list is generated, bypassing its established variables.

It remains that way until Emacs is restarted, after it which it goes to the saved settings so long as a doom theme is not loaded.

Emacs is 32.0.50, ef-themes is 2.2.1 and modus themes is 20261005.1000

Emac 28 and 31 also exhibit the problem

Can anyone check if the problem is present on their system.
