Comment(by ryan):

 The POST info for the widget is empty after Cancel is pressed. Edit ->
 Cancel -> Edit -> Done preserves the info.  The new widgets are assuming
 that update() is always called with full info for $new_instance.  We can
 do like the old widgets do and merge $new_instance over $old_instance.
 I'll hold off on that until after the UI update.  Maybe we can fix Cancel.
