Comment (by Looimaster):

 For anyone having the same issue this was my problem:


 {{{
 function tn_options_init() {
         register_setting( 'tn_options', 'my_theme_name_options',
 'tn_validate' );
         add_settings_section( 'general', '', '__return_false',
 'theme_options' );
         add_settings_field( 'x', __( 'x', 'tn' ), 'tn_settings_field_x',
 'theme_options', 'general' );
         add_settings_field( 'y', __( 'y', 'tn' ), 'tn_settings_field_y',
 'theme_options', 'general' );
         add_settings_field( 'z', __( 'z', 'tn' ), 'tn_settings_field_z',
 'theme_options', 'general' );
 }
 add_action( 'admin_init', 'tn_options_init' );
 }}}

 It looks like if you use `my_theme_name_options` in `register_setting()`
 then you can't be using it in Customizer. Or `tn_validate` must include
 sanitization for all your admin page options and Customizer options.

 I thought Customizer does saving separately and has its own sanitization
 callback and I didn't suspect that something else may be interfering.

 When I mentioned that I renamed that to `my_opts[opt_name]` and it didn't
 work then it's because I actually renamed that database setting everywhere
 using "Find and replace in Files..." and not just in my
 /inc/customizer.php.

 It's not a bug then.
