Comment (by dlh):

 @westonruter The patch fixes the issue in my testing.

 I noticed one side effect: If the Customizer loads with starter content,
 and there is a `url` query parameter for a starter content page (like
 `?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwp.dev%2Fcontact%2F`), the preview will show "not
 found." It looks like the Customizer attempts to preview `/contact/`,
 which invokes `get_page_by_path()`, which in turn queries for a
 `post_name`.

 But I got into this scenario as I was reinstalling and refreshing quite a
 bit during testing, and I'm not sure how it would naturally occur. Plus,
 if you then click the link to the page in the nav menu, the starter
 content works as expected.
