 > Testing the patch, looks like I can create an unnamed menu with just
 spaces and successfully add items and set it to a location then save, but
 when refreshing the Customizer it's gone.

 spaces-only menus before they're even created, as @tywayne suggested. That
 would be the simplest approach and should avoid confusion for the user.

 The menu goes away? It should be retained, but just with a conflict-
 resolved name and with empty names being replaced with "(unnamed)".
 There's also the possibility that a user could clear out the name input
 field after they first add the menu, so that needs to be taken into
 account as well.
