Comment:

 Here is a shortcut which can be pasted into the browser console to empty
 out all sidebars to trigger the bad behavior:

 {{{#!js
 _.each( wp.customize.panel('widgets').sections(), function ( section ) {
     var controls = section.controls();
     controls.pop().setting( [] ); // the last control is the
 SidebarWidgets control, the list of widget IDs in the sidebar
 } );
 }}}
