Comment:

 I would say its your  theme, As the Text widget which ships with
 WordPress has the title "Text" and a description of "Arbitrary text or
 HTML", yours shows "text" and "text" meaning that something has replaced
 it. Since you've only got the theme active, it points to that.

 You'll need to bug the Theme author to make the theme compatible.

 I've just looked up the theme, and it indeed does replace the default text
 widget, and doesnt provide a interface to modify it, It seems a fluke that
 it worked under WordPress 2.7.. relying upon the inherited forms rather
 than defining its own.

 You could try removing the line {{{register_sidebar_widget(__('text'),
 'widget_aoe_text');}}} from the themes functions.php file, but no
 guarantee's it'll work.

 invalid: Its not a WordPress core issue
