Comment (by dlh):

 [attachment:26876.3.patch] would have `WP_Widget::get_settings()` call
 `WP_Widget::save_settings()` with an empty array when no option is found
 in the database and the `alt_option_name` property isn't set. On the next
 request, the widget option would be autoloaded and not generate another
 query.
