 I traced the issue back to a change in behaviour between v6.9 and v7.0.

 This is the code that triggers the issue: calling wp_enqueue_code_editor()
 inside the wp_localize_script() function:

 {{{
 add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_admin_assets' );

 function enqueue_admin_assets() {

         wp_register_script(
                 'test-script',
                 plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) . 'js/test-script.js',
                 array(),
                 '1.0.0',
                 true
         );

         wp_localize_script( 'test-script', 'testScriptData', array(
                 'code_editor' => wp_enqueue_code_editor(['type' =>
 'text/html']),
         ) );

 }
 }}}

 pre-7.0 this did not run the code_editor. Tested with 6.9.4
 in 7.0+ it runs the code_editor
