 > There's a funny moment if you tab early (I think before load completes)
 where it will jump focus back to the close button

 Should be fixed in 21283.6.diff

 > Only other real thing I noticed - the collapse toggle doesn't work,
 although it can be tabbed to.

 fixed in 21283.6.diff (and added a bit stronger box-shadow).

 > Not sure how to feel about the visible repetition of the buttons at the
 bottom

 especially as the alternate text for the close button just says 'Close'.
 Would people using a screen reader get enough context there? Could there
 not be a Heading at the top of the panel that says 'Theme Customizer
 Options' that could get the focus?

 In 21283.6.diff I also removed the top buttons, and on page load, forced
 focus on the "You are previewing" div (and added aria-label="Theme
 Customizer Options" to that div).  Here's what it looks like now:
