Comment (by Fab1en):

 I have the same issue because I include the customizer files in my theme
 only if `is_admin` :

 {{{
 if(is_admin()) {
     require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/customizer/title/register.php');
 require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/customizer/background_gradient/register.php');
     require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/customizer/post/register.php');
 }
 }}}

 If that is a bad practice, it should be mentionned in
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Customization_API#Developing_for_the_Theme_Customizer
 the Codex].

 This was also very hard to debug because controls **are** added to the
 customizer panels, but hidden later with JavaScript.
