Comment:

 Well, I feel like [attachment:32688.8.diff] may be as far as we can take
 QUnit tests for Menu Customizer in 4.3. Beside the limited time left, the
 Menu Customizer functionality really begs for integration/acceptance tests
 and not pure unit tests (even the PHPUnit tests in Core are often not pure
 unit tests either). I think what we really need to fully test the
 Customizer is a testing approach that has a real environment (i.e. the
 vanilla environment created for initial PHPUnit test state) which allows
 JS to access data provided by PHP at page load time, *and* via Ajax
 requests, and evaluate the ability to perform end-to-end workflow
 operations on menus in the Customizer. This is something I've talked about
 with @jorbin to start writing Selenium scripts to run through the
 Customizer in the various acceptance tests.

 So I suggest that the patch here be committed and we close this out to
 then turn focus in JS testing to writing acceptance tests.
