Thanks for the bug report.

The code currently ignores the value if it's present but nil. That's
not good, obviously. But it might be tricky to fix it because other
widgets depend on the code ignoring it...
I think it might be good to have a different property specify a default
value (defaulting to :value upon creation, if not provided), and let
:value be treated as of today, like the current value holder.
