 > I also tested 32672.2.diff, but I spotted an error in the console and
 the first menu gets listed twice in the Menu Locations panel if you follow
 the testing steps exactly and click Save & Publish before going to Menu
 Locations ([https://cldup.com/TsZhos4SHn.png screenshot]).

 @gabrielperezs and I took a look at this during WCEU's contributor day.
 Both patches apply without issue, but introduce a new bug with the Menu
 Locations.

 We were not able to reproduce the duplicate menus in the Locations Panel,
 but we are noticing that the newly created menus will not appear in the
 Locations Panel, without a Save & Publish action.  Otherwise, the menu
 remains empty.

 Steps to reproduce.

 1.) Apply [attachment: 32672.2.diff]
 2.) Add a new menu via the Customizer's Menu Panel.
 3.) Select a menu location from the Menu Panel.
 4.) Without saving, navigate to the Menu Locations Panel.

 The newly created menu will not appear.  This is presumably because the
 newly created menu is never saved.
