Comment:

 As things are with the patch I just uploaded, it's harmless on the front
 end's standpoint:

  - When previewing a new theme (and upon activating one), he may get empty
 sidebars, which is a lesser evil as compared to widgets being randomly
 moved around.
  - Upon switching his theme, the user will thus want to visit the widgets
 screen, where his old sidebars_widgets option gets overwritten (as
 previously was the case).
  - No extra missed cache hit or overhead were added, per your request.
