To reproduce:
- Add a ColumnGroupsViewDefinition

protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnShown(e);
    VisualStudio2012LightTheme theme = new VisualStudio2012LightTheme();
    Telerik.WinControls.ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = theme.ThemeName;
     this.radGridView1.BestFitColumns();
}

Workaround:
protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnShown(e);
    this.radGridView1.BestFitColumns();
    VisualStudio2012LightTheme theme = new VisualStudio2012LightTheme();
    Telerik.WinControls.ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = theme.ThemeName;
}
