That tracks. But any explanation for why
1. Editors were capable of editing widgets prior to this release?
2. Editors would still see an option to edit widgets?

No core files modified! Just changed the selected theme in the wp_options table to recover.

I tried turning plugins off and re-activating one by one, and de-activating our (highly custom) theme. While I did have a brush with the White Screen of Death (note to self: Avoid the twenty fourteen theme!) I did not discover any plugins that changed the visible widgets issue.
Re. health check: I can’t really install a plugin in this way in a timely manner.
Let me try another angle though: Given that I can reach the wp_options table et al (which is how I recovered from WSOD) could you give me any pointers as to what table these “stranded” widgets might be stored in? Because it seems to me that they are still present in the wp_options table but not visible to the widgets interface.
