I got Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'initialize' of undefined on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3092 from this script: <div id="siteNotice"><!-- CentralNotice --><script>mw.centralNotice.initialize();</script></div>
CentralNotice is working just fine for me on wikidata. I wonder if the ResourceLoader dependencies are not set correctly and sometimes the initialization happens too early. The bigger question, though, is why is CentralNotice being shown on WikiData at the moment. It hasn't been added to meta, so we have no way of targeting it. There must be a misconfiguration somewhere.
To the best of my knowledge the only way this error could have occurred is if ResourceLoader failed to load the CN controller script. mw.centralNotice.initialize() has been in existence since we moved to RL... Do we have any further details about what browser this was experienced under? That might play a part... For the record, CN seems to be working fine for me on Opera 12

WikiData target is enabled as of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/31859 -- LocalSettings will need to be changed for WikiData, $wgNoticeProject should be set to 'wikidata'. Bug still open on slow/chrome 22 -- need to take a look at how the skin hooks are generated and where.
It's probably not related to this specific bug, but $wgResourceLoaderExperimentalAsyncLoading affects where some of the hooks are generated. I think this is only turned on on test2.wiki though.
Hopefully the patch in the other bug solves this problem *crosses fingers* *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 41937 ***
