doesn't preserve page hierarchy

 When you first visit {{{/wp-admin/nav-menus.php}}} in WordPress 3.6, if
 you don't already have a menu defined it automatically creates a new menu
 with all published pages in the menu.

 On sites with many published pages and particularly sites with multiple
 levels of pages (child/parent pages), all of those pages are added as top
 level nav menu items.

 (After the first menu is created, subsequent new menu requests create
 empty menus with no menu items in them).

 The functionality was introduced in [23441].

 Previous versions (such as 3.5) didn't automatically create a new menu.

 Instead, when the first nav menu is automatically created I think we
 should either:

 1. only add all top level pages by default, or
 2. add all pages (including sub pages) but preserve the page hierarchy
 into the nav menu.

 My preference would be option 1.
