Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 When installing the fresh trunk to a fresh database, I see what ocean90
 mentioned on IRC:
 http://cl.ly/1z2T402d170w3C3v3H3P

 After a page reload, Inactive Sidebar disappears.

 This is what `wp_get_sidebars_widgets()` returns first time on a clean
 install:
 {{{
 [wp_inactive_widgets] => Array()
 [primary-widget-area] => Array(
     [0] => search-2
     [1] => recent-posts-2
     [2] => recent-comments-2
     [3] => archives-2
     [4] => categories-2
     [5] => meta-2
 )
 [secondary-widget-area] => Array()
 [first-footer-widget-area] => Array()
 [second-footer-widget-area] => Array()
 [third-footer-widget-area] => Array()
 [fourth-footer-widget-area] => Array()
 }}}

 Looks like the defaults in `wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php` were never
 updated for Twenty Eleven:
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.2.1/wp-
 admin/includes/upgrade.php#L284

 [attachment:17979.twenty-eleven-defaults.patch] should fix this.
