Comment (by westonruter):

 In [attachment:40951.4.diff] ([https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-
 develop/pull/235/files/d8cfffb..beb1c76 diff]) the legacy mode detection
 is expanded to also include whether or not shortcodes are present in the
 text, since if shortcodes get applied at `widget_text` then any HTML added
 could be corrupted by `wpautop` which then runs later at
 `widget_text_content`. Plugins that add shortcode support for the Text
 widget should use the `widget_text_content` filter at priority 11, in the
 same way that core applies shortcodes on the `the_content` filter at
 priority 11, whereas `wpautop` runs at priority 10.
