 Replying to [comment:13 gcorne]:
 > While testing, I discovered an issue with previewing {{{twentyeleven}}}
 and the widget "Twenty Eleven Ephemera." I can add the widget just fine,
 but making changes to the widget doesn't seem to work

 This is caused by the ajax calls with {{{action == 'update-widget'}}} not
 including the {{{theme}}} parameter, so the customizer doesn't load in
 preview mode. Unfortunately, making that change exposes issues with the
 other work that I had done to override the {{{sidebars_widgets}}} to apply
 {{{retrieve_widgets()}}} under certain circumstances. Figuring out how to
 best handle that requires more thought.
