It’s not clear how the draft of the draft was created; the system tries to
prevent it (see below) but there’s no structural obstacle to a draft of a draft
and so when custom code comes into play it’s perfectly possible to create one.

That’s not correct, the system will reuse the existing draft. For example, on
tiddlywiki.com:
1. Edit HelloThere and delete all the text and replace it with “Testing", but
don’t click the tick to save it
2. Use the sidebar “Open” tab to close the draft tiddler
3. Use the search box to open HelloThere
4. Click the edit button
5. You’ll see the text “Testing”, showing that the same draft was reused.

The navigator widget does in fact check for an existing draft when asked to
edit a tiddler.
