Comment (by tellyworth):

 One approach to solving this would be to have `wp_ajax_save_widget()` and
 (I think) `WP_Customize_Widgets::wp_ajax_update_widget()` check for a
 conflicting multi_number when `add_new` is set; if it is, return an
 incremented number, and have the controls switch to that.
 `wp_ajax_save_widget` doesn't currently return data though.

 That'd make it transparent to the user, but I'm not yet sure if the
 broader approaches to concurrent widget editing might fix this in a
 general way.

 Does that sound like a sane solution?
