Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 I'm still investigating this, and I may possibly be wrong, but I believe
 there are bugs when you use old-style multi-widgets, that use the legacy
 procedure to update (in what would now be the form() method:

 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.7.1/wp-
 includes/widgets.php#L1997

 Js errors that I bumped into set aside (mine, outlined in a separate
 ticket, and fixed since courtesy of Andrew), old-style multi-widgets get
 "added" but fail to stick into the sidebar (sidebar fails, but the widget
 is apparently deleted, probably due to the old save procedure).

 It occurs somewhat randomly, too. I haven't tested on kubrick, which has a
 single sidebar. But it definitely does happen with my theme (12 sidebars),
 in spite of the fact that it adds no scripts to widgets.php beyond the one
 that got fixed since. I'll try this:

 ... and report back if it highlights any pointer to why it's happening.

 On a separate note, the widgets apparently no longer display their title.
 Is this intentional?

 Also, UI wise, multi-widgets seem to appear both in the available widgets
 and the unused widgets. Would it not make more sense to stick to adding
 configured multi-widgets into the unused widgets?
