Comment:

 After [36689], when creating a control in JS, the control's `setting`
 property can't be assigned a setting instance directly in the options
 object.

 That said, I'm not sure whether passing a `setting` was "doing it wrong"
 to begin with. In my case, I was doing so only as a convenience in a unit
 test.

 For example:

 {{{
 var setting = wp.customize.create( 'foo', 'foo', 'bar', {
     transport: 'refresh',
     previewer: wp.customize.previewer,
 });

 var control = wp.customize.control.create( 'baz', 'baz', {
     setting: setting,
 });
 }}}

 `console.log( control.setting )` shows the setting instance before [36689]
 and `null` currently.
