Comment:

 @y2kand13: Are you adding this filter inside of a theme or a plugin? It
 works for me when included in a plugin. Note that it has to be added
 before `setup_theme` fires, which happens before a theme's `functions.php`
 loads. So the code has to be executed by the `plugins_loaded` action. So
 this means that if this functionality is loaded by a theme (e.g. on
 WordPress.com VIP) it will happen too late. In this case, a different
 approach is needed where the `customize` capability gets written
 persistently to the user role in the database, e.g. via a one-time call to
 `WP_Role::add_cap()`. I haven't tried this yet, but I know my colleague
 @shadyvb is working on it.
