New description:

 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.
