Structured Navigation (Publishing) not supported on "Modern" Sites/Pages/Lists/Libraries
Brent Ellis (and others) - good news! We're finally pushing out a fix to support structured and managed navigation on modern pages/apps in classic sites.
With this update, if you have enabled publishing on a classic team site, your structured or managed navigation nodes will now render correctly in the modern pages (both global and current navigation), including any scoped or audience-targeted links. We haven’t pulled all the classic settings into the modern panels yet, so when you need to edit the navigation nodes the edit link will direct you back to the classic settings page (/areanavigationsettings.aspx).
We hope this unblocks folks who have been eager to move to the modern UX. Do try it out let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Is anyone else seeing this? We've raised a ticket with MS to investigate.

Thanks James-Brennan - a regression has resulted in several UI issues w/ this build. We have postponed and rolled-back until we can get fixes in place. I'll keep this list apprised of that progress. Apologies for the inconvenience - and thanks for your patience!
ssquires That's great, thanks for the update, it felt like an issue with the latest patching for the navigation. And thanks for monitoring this thread too.
Great job ssquires and MS team for monitoring this thread. Lots of good info.
I have set my tenant to first release.
My issue: top nav in modern pages always opens in new tab. Does anyone see similar behavior? Can we set the top nav links to open in same window?
Thanks in advance

Adding Jeremy Coleman, MattyVx, bart_vermeersch, and Marc Wenning for notice - thanks all for the prompt reports. We've identified the issue and have paused/recalled the build to address before we roll any further. Thanks.
ssquires -- pleasantly surprised tonight as I tested to see if the by some change the navigation fix made it to our tenant already. Sure enough, it did, and................. it works perfectly! Publishing enabled at the root site and navigation propogates perfectly to all subsites.
That said, I needed to go into /_layouts/15/topnav.aspx and /_layouts/15/quiklnch.aspx on the top level and clear up some of the old links from when things were broken.Nice to have this working.... much better than running a powershell script to fix all sites/sub-sites..... thanks!
Yeah I am seeing it as well, I am still seeing the page not found link as well in my dev tenant. Hopefully the navigation will be sorted out soon, wouldn't mind using the new lists and libraries but wont roll it out until this works as it should in my dev tenant.
What is going on?
The same thing just happened on one of our Site Collections and all Sub Sites, Global Navigation links have all been replaced with links to local items and appended with a '0' when the modern experience appears...
I logged a ticket and Microsoft said they are aware. Not too happy as the issue is on our executive board's site :(
