New description:

 When upgrading to 5.9 and first activating a block theme such as Twenty
 Twenty-Two (TT2), the Customizer's Menus section shows the existing
 (classic) menu(s) as though it is still assigned, but the previewer and
 Site Editor show the default header menu with pages listed (i.e. from the
 Navigation block with Page List).

 This will confuse users.

 How will they know that their previous (classic) menu needs to be assigned
 in the Site Editor when first upgrading? They won't.

 To resolve this problem, @noisysocks suggested hiding the Menus section in
 Customizer as is done with the Widgets section.
