Comment:

 I also ran into this problem today and can give more info on what's
 causing it.

 This is my code:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 register_widget(new OurNamespace\SocialWidget);
 }}}

 When adding this widget to a sidebar, a POST call is made to
 `admin_ajax.php`, with payload (Example)

     {
     "widget_id": "widget-ournamespace\socialwidget-2",
     "id_base": "ournamespace\socialwidget"
     }

 The slash is causing the problem. When you call `parent::__construct` with
 an `id_base` without a slash (I used `ournamespace_socialwidget`), the
 problem is gone.

 Hope that helps you! If more info is useful, feel free to ask :)
