 I am currently working on a new Customizer based version of my theme. I
 have implemented a popup menu to navigate to any part of the Customizer
 menu hierarchy using a JS script.

 This menu uses  {{{wp.customize.section().focus() }}}  and {{{
 wp.customize.panel().focus() }}} extensively. I have been testing on
 4.3.1, and these work as expected. After completing this new feature, I
 went to 4.4 Beta 2 to test, and the {{{ wp.customize.section().focus() }}}
 portion of the popup menu is now completely '''non-functional'''.

 It opens the parent panel of the section, and not the section. In 4.3, the
 call would option the section panel that included all the Options in the
 section. Now, just the section's parent.

 This is a somewhat advanced use of these API calls I suspect. These calls
 are mentioned in the developer documentation, so I think they should
 continue to work in 4.4, but now they don't.

 As this might be a bit difficult to test, I've attached the script in
 question, although I'm not sure how useful it is standalone.  I can
 provide the current development version of my theme that clearly
 demonstrates the problem if necessary.
