 I think the code should determine the value for legacy during save and
 then make allowances for it when deciding what filters to apply when
 formatting. If 'legacy' has been set then don't apply wpautop.

 In this scenario, when displaying the form for the text widget, 'content'
 trumps 'legacy'.  BTW. I don't particularly care for the term 'legacy'.
 Why not try something like 'complex' or 'mixed'?
