Comment (by deltafactory):

 This is related to a hotly debated jQuery "bug" related to the use of the
 `<base>` tag, which done by the Customizer. See their ticket here:
 http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/7822

 Specifically, the result of jQuery UI Tab's `isLocal()` on hash-only urls
 (e.g. `href="#my-tab-1"`) unexpectedly returns false. This triggers an
 ajax call to pull in the tab's content. In the Customizer's case, that's
 the Customizer page itself (not pretty.)

 == Possible fixes:==
 The jQuery dev team recommends the use of absolute URLs.

 I will suggest a simple check to see if URL to the left of the hash is an
 empty string which should be "local" by definition, though I forsee poor
 reception.

 One commenter on the ticket has detailed the problem and a few suggestions
 here http://tjvantoll.com/2013/02/17/using-jquery-ui-tabs-with-the-base-
 tag/. His third suggestion is a hacky work-around but may be the most
 universal fix for the Customizer barring a solution by jQuery.
