has_nav_menu() is not supported to return true until the user actually has created a menu and then assigned that menu to the menu location in question.

Tested on WP 4.2-alpha (trunk, no plugins, Twenty Fifteen, a menu is assgned to 'primary') with the code you provided on StackExchange:

1) Checking for 'primary': true
2) No menu assigned to location 'global-nav': false
3) After a menu assigned to the location 'global-nav': true

Also tested on a live 4.0.1 installation with same results. So I can't confirm this neither in trunk nor in 4.0.1.

Have you tested with no plugins, the default theme and after assigning a non-empty menu to the location "Global NAvigation" under Appearance - Menus?
