It looks very much like an ancient bug I fixed in GNU Emacs recently.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to port it to XEmacs, but here is the
patch if anyone cares.

* wid-edit.el (widget-default-get): Change to return external
value.
(widget-choice-action): Update caller.
(widget-editable-list-entry-create): Update caller.
* wid-edit.el (widget-types-copy): New function.
(default): Added :copy keyword.
(menu-choice): Ditto.
(checklist): Ditto.
(radio-button-choice): Ditto.
(editable-list): Ditto.
(group): Ditto.
(widget-copy): New function.

Hi XEmacs Team,
what about this issue?
Unfortunately, I have too little time currently to look into this.
Best regards,
Adrian
