Comment:

 Yes, the widgets API is doing a lot of things at the same time:
 implementing the new (class based) methods, staying backwards compatible,
 converting old settings when a widget has been upgraded to use the new
 methods, taking into account broken/badly coded widgets and trying to
 prevent them from breaking the rest.

 Replying to [comment:1 hakre]:
 > The widget is available in wp_widget_factory but is not part of
 $wp_registered_widget_controls.

 So, the widget fails to initialize properly? Is that a specific widget or
 it can happen with any? If it's a specific one, can you attach the widget
 code here. Also will need the database dump of the widget's option(s).
