Comment:

 Using `customize-loader` would make it easy to return to the original URL
 since it would just involve the removal of the `iframe` overlay and
 restoration of the URL (manipulated via `history.pushState()`) via
 `history.back()` (see #28536), and this approach is also suggested in
 #28661 on the frontend to speed up the loading of the customizer.

 But I think the fix for this issue is much simpler and straightforward.
 All we need to do is append the `REQUEST_URI` as the `return` query
 parameter for the admin menu link to the Customizer. Then when hitting
 Close in the Customizer, the user would be returned to the admin page from
 which they clicked on the Customizer.

 See [attachment:25457.1.diff].
