Comment (by t31os_):

 There seems to be some specific issue with calling localize with the
 jquery handle, switching the call to use jquery-ui-core also works, it's
 definitely specific to trying to create vars for the jquery enqueue.

 {{{
 wp_localize_script( 'jquery', 'myvars', array( 'foo' => 'bar' ) );
 }}}

 No vars output in the page.

 {{{
 wp_localize_script( 'jquery-ui-core', 'myvars', array( 'foo' => 'bar' ) );
 }}}

 Vars are successfully output in the page(assuming you have jquery ui on
 the given page of course).

 {{{
 wp_localize_script( 'my-enqueued-script', 'myvars', array( 'foo' => 'bar'
 ) );
 }}}

 Again vars are output to the page.

 I also tried calling the localize method directly, and can see they appear
 in the registered scripts data array.

 {{{
 $wp_scripts->localize( 'jquery', 'myvars', array( 'foo' => 'bar' ) );
 echo $wp_scripts->registered['jquery']['extra']['data']; // Prints var
 myvars = {"foo":"bar"};
 }}}

 However, again the vars are not output in the page, specifically when they
 are created for the jquery handle. Not sure why any of this occurs, just
 wanted to confirm i can replicate the issue being described in trunk.
