 Strange. For some reason the section is not getting registered in the
 preview and so it is not iterated over inside of
 `WP_Customize_Manager::customize_preview_settings()`:

 {{{#!php
 foreach ( $this->sections as $id => $section ) {
         $settings['activeSections'][ $id ] = $section->active();
 }
 }}}

 Because the panel's sole section is then inactive, the panel then
 automatically is considered inactive as well (contextually inactive). It's
 strange because the control and the panel both are being picked up. It's
 just the section that is not.

 I'm looking into why.
