Comment:

 @dlh Thanks very much for testing that. I forgot about
 `ALTERNATE_WP_CRON`.

 Regardless, if the loopback request fails (which is a common cause for
 scheduling problems) then `spawn_cron()` won't do anything either.

 The simplest thing I can think of is to open an Ajax request to invoke the
 customize save method like when hitting Publish in the Customizer. Can you
 think of a better way?
