Comment (by nacin):

 Twenty Eleven doesn't do the frontloading. WordPress does, and has since
 3.0. See #12163.

 > It's naive to assume that widget areas are always sidebars, and are
 therefore equipped to style the transferred widgets properly.

 That's the actual issue here, I'd think.

 It would probably be best if Genesis registered its sidebars in order of
 descending precedence, or at least made the first one "primary".
