For now, I "fixed" my widget on 2.3 by going from a monolithic 322px high background drawable to smaller drawables. Of course, I shouldn't have to do that, but whatever...
If you place any widgets on 2.3 and compare it to 2.2, you can see that they are spaced differently. On 2.3, they are a lot closer to each other vertically and there is more (unused) room above the phone/ app/browser standard buttons. So it appears that 2.3 has shrunk the physical height of one widget cell.
