 If you create a widget with INPUT field, and if default value for that
 field is a HTML tag, when adding this widget into sidebar, __i__ for this
 INPUT is not replaced by sequential number for the widget. If the default
 value is not tag, it works fine. If after adding widget to sidebar you set
 HTML tag as value it is saved OK also. Problem is when field has HTML as
 default value.

 From what I can see, this is a bug that is there since the Widget class is
 added to WordPress years ago. Problem is the regular expression that
 detects __i__ inside the HTML generated for the widget control.
