 It's kind of weird that in order for a plugin/theme to filter the nav menu
 items, the $args->context needs to be 'frontend'.

 For example, since the $args object is passed through the
 wp_nav_menu_items filter, the user-defined filter can do the contextual
 checks. For instance ...

 {{{
 add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_items_filter', 10, 2);
 function my_nav_menu_items_filter($items, $args) {
     if( $args->context != 'frontend' )
         return $items;

     // proceed with the filter
 }
 }}}

 Plus, I can see plenty of reasons why a plugin/theme might want to filter
 the items regardless of context.

 Either way, it should be up to the plugin/theme author, shouldn't it?

 I've attached a patch.
