How to avoid wp_nav_menu() ID conflict?

1. The solution is not to call the same 'theme_location' more than once. Theme location is intended to represent an explicit location within the template.

   Just register a separate 'theme_location' for each separate location within the template that you want to display a nav menu.

   Consider your chosen 'theme_location' names to be semantic names, representing the template location of the menu. You could use 'primary' and 'secondary', or 'header' and 'footer', etc.:

   <?php
   function wpse55380_setup_theme() {
   
       // Register nav menu locations
       register_nav_menus( array(
           'header' => 'Header Menu',
           'footer' => 'Footer Menu'
       ) );
   }
   add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'wpse55380_setup_theme' ); 
   

   …or:

   <?php
   function wpse55380_setup_theme() {
   
       // Register nav menu locations
       register_nav_menus( array(
           'primary'   => 'Primary Header Menu',
           'secondary' => 'Secondary Header Menu'
       ) );
   }
   add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'wpse55380_setup_theme' ); 
   

   Then, it is up to the end user to assign custom menus to each Theme Location.
