Comment (by tywayne):

 Was playing around with a patch for this last night - hit the same console
 error and PHP warnings in the preview and gave up there.

 The alternative you pitched with a notice telling users to save could
 work, but pains me to think about someone creating a new menu, navigating
 away to widgets and drilling in, only to find a notice telling them they
 have to save - as a user this would incite a short moment of panic,
 quickly trying to remember what all I've changed, and if it is ok to go
 ahead and publish.

 Though, maybe I'm dramatizing that assumption? Is there precedent anywhere
 else in the customizer where we tell a user they have to save before they
 can continue?

 Ideally I would push for making it work without having to publish first.
 As @celloexpressions mentioned above, users aren't going to think to hit
 save, and especially may not want to publish changes until seeing it -
 which is one of the major benefits to the customizer as a whole. Granted,
 I'm also not familiar enough with this to write such a patch :)
