Comment:

 So in the end, it seems that in lieu of having a domain mapping plugin, it
 seems that core just doesn't work properly when the domain differs between
 the `siteurl` and `home` (a difference of `http:` vs `https:` is
 accomodated), and this appears to have been the case in customizer's
 inception.

 If anyone can determine if this is a regression in any way in 4.7 that
 would be helpful. If the issue happened in 4.6 as well, as I found, then
 this issue may indeed be `wontfix`.

 > The "Site Address (URL)" setting is the address you want people to type
 in their browser to reach your WordPress blog.

 > "Many people want WordPress to power their website's root (e.g.
 http://example.com) but they don't want all of the WordPress files
 cluttering up their root directory. WordPress allows you to install it
 into a subdirectory, but have your website served from the website root."

 > I think the issue was just a mis-configuration like @pagelab mentioned,
 and a misunderstanding of what "Site Address (URL)" means from my part. I
 was using "Site Address (URL)" as a URL for my website's homepage, which
 is not running on WordPress. WP site_url and home_url should be relatively
 the same, your "Site Address (URL)" should be pulling up your WP "front
 page" or the customizer is not going to work.

 > @westonruter If the above is correct, then this may be a non-issue.
 nothing to patch here :)
