Comment (by greenshady):

 I can confirm that as well.  I should've checked that one can actually use
 widgets with the patches.  This is because this the
 `wp_maybe_load_widgets` function is hooked to `plugins_loaded`:

 {{{
 add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'wp_maybe_load_widgets', 0 );
 }}}

 That's too early for themes to control.  I'm not sure if there are any
 plugins that this will affect if changed to a different hook.

 Without testing, my guess is that it'd need to move to something like:

 {{{
 add_action( 'widgets_init', 'wp_maybe_load_widgets', 99 );
 }}}
