Comment:

 I'm concerned that this will suddenly change people's sites as they were
 used to it being a different sort. While MySQL makes zero guarantees as to
 the order of records when there is no ORDER BY, they are more likely to be
 returned in insertion order than by name.

 wp_get_nav_menus() specifically is 'orderby' => 'none' by default, which
 seems to be the bug here.

 I'm not sure what to do or whether this actually has real world
 implications, but I want another opinion.
