Comment:

 It's saved until the widget becomes dirty, until an input has a `change`
 event happen on it. All you need to do is `trigger('change')` on the
 hidden input. Coincidentally this is also required for the widget to work
 in the Customizer.

 This is documented in https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/24/widget-
 improvements-in-wordpress-4-9/ under §Widget Saved State on Admin Screen.
