Comment (by mbootsman):

 Andrew, thanks for your reply.
 I realize the naming is a bit confusing, but I get that ;)

 Since I am using Genesis, and added the unregister_nav_menu to the init
 hook, I have tested this with twentyfourteen too to filter out theme-
 specific code. And it gives the same result.

 Let me clarify by the following steps, using the twentyfourteen theme:

 - Create a menu
 - Assign menu to both primary and secondary locations via Appearance -
 Menus
 - View frontpage, this will show the same menu on the primary/secondary
 location
 - Edit functions.php and add unregister_nav_menu( 'secondary' );
 - Refresh frontpage, this will show both menu locations filled with the
 created menu
 - Refresh the Appearance - Menus locations tab, this only shows Primary
 location

 I don't know if this a bug or as-designed, but I just doesn't feel right.
