Comment:

 Yes, the warnings are the issue - there may be some cases where the
 conversion to tinymce stripped out some code due to malformed html once it
 updated and converted the widget, but that should be taken care of if when
 there is a warning the widget is left in legacy mode instead of
 converting.

 It may be because of the php settings on my dev server that the warnings
 prevented the admin widget page from loading at all for me - I had to
 temporarily force all widgets to legacy in order to even see the widget
 admin in 4.8.1, then correct the code and re-enable the check.  The sites
 in question on this server do not have debug mode enabled, but it may be
 that php is set up as development server-wide.
