Anomalous Behavior of Default Menu

    I have experienced the following issue.
    I have registered a primary menu in functions.php, then i put the code in the header and assigned specific classes to the container and the menu_class. When i loaded my page I saw a list of my pages but without any styling (that was already in the style.css) and so I have discovered that the classes were not been assigned to the div and ul.
    Practically, by default, these classes are not assigned unless I go in the admin panel, in the Menu section and assigned a menu to the menu created in functions.php. BUT by default a menu is created with the list of pages.

    So I think this is an anomalous behaviour that I wanted to notify to you.

    Which theme is this regarding?

    Is it relevant?
    It is a self-made theme. But anyway, i have described the process. I think nothing was missing.

    Does the exact same thing happen on a default theme (like Twenty Thirteen)? If not, then the kind of problem is endemic to your theme, and we’d have to look at the code to help solve it.

    I read the code and trapped the point. It is here, line 264 of nav-menu-template.php:

    if ( ( !$menu || is_wp_error($menu) || ( isset($menu_items) && empty($menu_items) && !$args->theme_location ) )
		&& $args->fallback_cb && is_callable( $args->fallback_cb ) )
			return call_user_func( $args->fallback_cb, (array) $args );

    It stops there. If I do not assign a location in the Menu section of Admin Panel, by default the pages are showed by without any styling (because classes are not assigned).
    Now I had also assigned the location in the wp_nav_menu function:

    wp_nav_menu( array(
                  'container' => 'div',
                  'container_class' => 'grid_12',
                  'menu_class' => 'nav',
                  'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

    that is the same of the register, primary:

    register_nav_menus( array(
                'primary' => __( 'Primary Navigation', 'silvy2013' ),
        ) );

    (it is the same code of the Function Reference register_nav_menus( array( $location => $description ) );).

    So, maybe I have mistaken something, you can see for yourself.
    Of course, in the moment I assign a location in the Menu section, the problem is solved. Just wanted to know if there is a fault.
    Thank you

    Furthermore, what I assign as menu_class is assigned to the container, I mean to the div not to the ul, like this:

    <div class="nav"><ul><li class="page_item

    it should be:

    <div class="grid_12"><ul class="nav"><li class="page_item
