The easiest workaround I've found is to wrap the view controller you want to present inside a navigation controller, and then present that navigation controller.

MyViewController *vc = [MyViewController new];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] 
    initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:NULL];

Advantages:

• No mucking with frames needed.
• Same code works on iOS 6 an iOS 7.
• Less ugly than the other workarounds.

Disadvantages:

• You'll probably want to leave your XIB empty of navigation bars or toolbars, and programatically add UIBarButtonItems to the navigation bar. Fortunately this is pretty easy.
