Comment (by seanchayes):

 I tested this, using the steps provided, and found the following:

 Pre-patch, when adding the Custom menu widget the menu does not appear in
 the Sidebar and, if you only have one Custom Menu, it will only appear if
 you add a title to it. If you have more than one menu available and you
 want the first one listed then you have to switch to another menu and then
 switch back to the menu you actually want.

 Post-patch, indeed the addition of the --Select-- option does force the
 user to select the menu and that triggers the action / process to refresh
 the preview of the theme. If, you add a title but still leave the menu
 option as --Select-- no menu is added (it doesn't know which one of
 course).

 Forcing the choice seems to work logically and practically in this
 circumstance.
