Comment:

 To work around this we can add back the array_version when
 `$_wp_sidebars_widgets` is not empty
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/widgets.php#L970

 Perhaps we can remove the conversion part from `wp_get_sidebars_widgets()`
 for 2.9. It seems it was used in WordPress 2.2 to convert previous widgets
 set by the Sidebar Widgets plugin
 (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widgets/) that was added to the core
 in 2.2. So the conversion is not needed unless upgrading from WordPress
 2.1 or earlier and using the plugin.
