The widget code is really involved, but I think I've finally figured out
what's inserting the string in question:

(defun widget-create-child-value (parent type value)
  "Create widget of TYPE with value VALUE."
  (let ((widget (widget-copy type)))
    (widget-put widget :value (widget-apply widget :value-to-internal value))
    (widget-put widget :parent parent)
    (unless (widget-get widget :indent)
      (widget-put widget :indent (+ (or (widget-get parent :indent) 0)
				    (or (widget-get widget :extra-offset) 0)
				    (widget-get parent :offset))))
    (widget-apply widget :create)
    widget))

So now the question is how the text should be formatted.  Perhaps
folding it after inserting it is the right way?  Anybody know how?  :-)
(I mean, without breaking the widget machinery...)
