 You're very right. I ran into the issue myself no later than yesterday.
 The Recent Posts widget actually doesn't override the $wp_query. I've
 added a temporary workaround, but it's not as good as I'd like it to. That
 said, there is a do_action_ref_array() early on in the WP_Query stuff.
 Checking over there might be a good option as well.
