New description:

 I noticed that after initializing Twenty Seventeen all of the Top nav menu
 items all linked to the homepage. It turns out that the `auto-draft`
 status post/page stubs were not getting a `post_name` specified and so the
 permalink for them would point to the homepage.

 Likewise, when adding new nav menu items, I'm able to supply titles which
 then result in pages/posts that have the same `post_name` as other items.
 This is due to `wp_publish_posts()` being used which bypasses the unique
 slug check.
