Comment (by technosailor):

 I can confirm that this is indeed a problem, even in the latest revision
 of 2.2 r5466. I tested on an existing widgetized 2.1.3 blog with a custom
 theme that has no id paramter, only a name parameter. The name paramter is
 respected in terms of name, but widget are not properly placed in the
 sidebars. In fact it's as if the widgetized sidebar did not exist. As an
 example, in this case, in %theme%/functions.php we use:

 `if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
     register_sidebar(array(
         'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget wide %2$s">',
         'after_widget'  => '</div>',
         'before_title'  => '<h2 class="title">',
         'after_title'   => '</h2>',
                         'name' => 'Full width - top'
     )
     );`
 and in the sidebar.php:

 `                               <?php if (
 !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
                                         || !dynamic_sidebar('Full width -
 top') ) : ?>`
