LUA widget option constant "TIMER" buggy?

[Shonkonray]

I think that the choice option TIMER is buggy during initialization. At times it starts with an invalid Timer. Or if it starts with an existing Timer and the widget is deleted afterwards and reinserted it has an invalid timer as start.
Also, the init in LUA has no effect on it, regardless if its set to 0,1,2. At least i didnt see it or was not consistent because of the faulty inits.

Since i am new to LUA i am wondering if i am doing something wrong, though, in this case i think its a bug. Because i have no influence of how the Timer list is checked during initialization.

My options code (TimerSource2 was just there to test the init behavor of VALUE to see if i am doing something wrong):

local options = {{"TimerSource", TIMER, 0},
                 {"TimerSource2", VALUE, 1, 1, 3}

Can this somebody confirm (i tested with 2.8.4 and 2.9.0 RC1 and two different widgets)?
How to test:

1. Add the TIMER option to any existing or a test widget
2. Start simulator and add the widget, if its starting with a weird timer (see screenshot below) then you can confirm if not proceed with
3. Reload the radio data, or restart the simulator
4. Remove the widget
5. And then add your test widget again, now it probably should have a weird timer in it.
