Comment (by thememason):

 has_nav_menu() is only useful if you do not intend to use the fallback
 function wp_page_menu called by wp_nav_menu. The problem is that if a
 website only uses posts and there are no actual pages, it returns an empty
 <div>.

 Right now the only solution I've found is to use strpos to determine if an
 <li> item exists in what wp_nav_menu returns. This is more of a hack for
 now. Here's my theme file where you can see the code:
