Comment (by westonruter):

 Re: [attachment:20542.diff], I've seen cases where a plugin expects the
 array keys of `$wp_widget_factory->widgets` to be the actual class names.
 That being said, they could (and perhaps should) be doing `get_class()` on
 the array values, but they'd need to be updated to do so.
