Thanks for the bug report.

I can reproduce this bug in Emacs 26.3.  On current master, the bug manifests
differently: we don't get the State buttons, but we do get the message:
Symbol's function definition is void: nil

The difference lies in `custom-variable-modified-p' bugging out before we draw

The bug is that Custom-save recalculates the state and redraws all widgets,
even the hidden ones.  I propose the attached patch, that changes
Custom-save to only act on edited widgets in the buffer.
