I misunderstood this. The edited value does indeed seem to get used, whether it fits the intended meaning of "other" or not. So if the :format contains a %v, the user can choose "other" to customize the option as if it were a 'sexp. I am not immediately sure whether or not that means that (define-widget 'other 'sexp is appropriate after all. Sincerely, Luc.
