Description

Currently, there is no way to differentiate between a custom menu placed in two different widget areas with wp_nav_menu_args. Since there is no real effect on themes or the use of wp_nav_menu, I propose that WP_Nav_Menu_Widget applies the widget ID as the theme location.

Patch looks interesting. By default theme_location should be a value which is registered via register_nav_menu().

In this case it would work because wp_nav_menu() uses theme_location only if $menu isn't set.

As an alternative we could add a context arg to wp_nav_menu().
