Comment (by dougal):

 Just did some testing and everything seemed to behave as expected:
 * Set up WP 4.7 and created text widgets with html content known to have
 problems in 4.8.0.
 * Upgraded to `trac-40951` branch. Text widgets gave the legacy mode
 warning, but still rendered "correctly" (old behavior)
 * Tried toggling "Automatically add paragraphs", re-saving, reviewing.
 Behaved as expected (same as in 4.7). Toggling back off and re-saving
 restored desired rendering.
 * Creating a new text widget and pasting in the identical content did not
 trigger legacy mode. The `wpautop` filter was applied, giving "broken"
 rendering (relative to 4.7), as expected.
 * Pasting HTML into the WYSIWYG tab triggered friendly warning that I
 probably wanted the Text tab.

 Thumbs-up from me.
