Comment (by azaozz):

 In 25952.6.patch:
 - Fix possible regression in wp_list_widget_controls(), add an optional
 argument to output the sidebar name inside the sortable container.
 - Lock the sortable containers min-height while dragging to prevent them
 from jumping when moving a widget to a closed sidebar.
 - Move widgets dropped on closed sidebars to the top. UI Sortable places
 them randomly near the bottom.

 Also tried to implement "jump-open" when holding a widget over a closed
 sidebar, however UI Sortable randomly fails to activate after the timeout
 and the dragged widget cannot be placed properly.
