Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Still working on this item.

 Looks like the best/most straightforward approach will be to save the new
 unpublished menu items to the server via ajax so that rendering can happen
 correctly for the custom menu widget (and any other customizer element
 referencing menus).

 Since we previously had code that was saving the menus via ajax, I should
 be able to leverage this old code - working on that now. We will need to
 fire events to add, update or delete menus, using the temporary menu id.
 Once this is in place the existing widget rendering functionality should
 work as expected. Once the menu is 'saved and published' we will need to
 remove the temporary php side data and update any widgets to use the new
 ID (partially in place already), while also maintaining the correctly
 selected (potentially new) menus.
