So testing the existing, updated theme against the newly created one uncovered the underlying issue:

`bud.config.js`:

```
app

  .entry({
    normalize: {
      import: ["@styles/normalize"],
    },
    app: {
      import: ["@scripts/app", "@styles/app"],
      dependOn: ["normalize"],
    },
  })
```

The `normalize` entrypoint is declared a dependency of the `app` entrypoint.  
The `normalize` entrypoint should be enqueued before the `app` entrypoint.

This stylesheet is enqueued before the theme `app` stylesheet, which is fine, as it allows the theme to override those default `global-styles` styles. However, when the theme also ships with normalize/reset styles (which is very useful btw.), those styles will override the Gutenberg-specific styles and cause issues. Hence separating `normalize` and `app` styles allows to move the `normalize` stylesheet before the theme stylesheet, fixing the issue.

When this dependency is declared and `normalize` and `app` entrypoints enqueued,  
`app.js` is not executed, albeit its `<script>` element being rendered and fetched by browser. The webpack-specific extra logic inside somehow expects the `normalize` entrypoint script before execution.

And here lies the underlying issue: The `normalize` entrypoint is declared with a stylesheet only, no script file. But the `manifest.json` generated during theme build contains a `normalize.js`, and no `normalize.css`. So entrypoints appear, at least in recent Sage 10, being expected to always having a script file, even if just a stylesheet should be used.  
Now I could add an empty script file, but this results in an additional, unnecessary file and I would really want to avoid this. Also this behavior looks like a bug.

Edit: The build fails now:

```
✘ sage ./public [f9899bd0b87f52832cf4]
