Comment (by jqz):

 Thank you for finally responding after 4 years.

 Here is some code that exhibits the problem:

 ```php
 \add_action(
   'customize_register',
   function ($wpCustomize) {
     $wpCustomize->add_setting(
       'test54184',
       [
         'type' => 'text',
         'default' => '©',
       ]
     );
     $wpCustomize->add_control(
       'test54184',
       [
         'label' => 'Test for #54184',
         'section' => 'title_tagline',
       ]
     );
   }
 );
 ```

 I know that your bugtracker does not support markdown, but there's nothing
 I can do about that.

 The code example fails to save the changes, I don't know why, but does at
 least demonstrate part 1 of the problem.
