Comment (by westonruter):

 Is this not expected behavior?

 If I am accessing the Customizer via a page or post, then it this
 page/post that is shown in the preview as I am taken to the Customizer via
 a URL like http://src.wordpress-develop.dev/wp-
 admin/customize.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsrc.wordpress-develop.dev%2Fsample-
 page%2F

 Changing the static front page would have no effect when previewing a URL
 other than `home_url()` because that setting only applies there. In other
 words, the Static Front Page section is *contextual* to whether
 `is_front_page()`
