Comment:

 Hi @jon81, and welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 Putting aside the behavior of `remove_setting()` for a moment: If the
 setting is being replaced to use a custom sanitizing callback, is there a
 reason the `customize_sanitize_{$id}` filter can't be used instead?

 I'm not sure whether there's a historical reason that the
 `WP_Customize_Manager::remove_*()` methods don't attempt to remove any
 hooks associated with the removed constructs. @westonruter sorry for the
 ping, but do you know?
