Good catch, we missed that. I’ve updated the docs to reflect the changes in
v5.2.0.

The second example in your test tiddler looks like this:
<$vars var2={{!!field2}}>
''__Field 2:__''
<$edit-text field="field2" />
Field 2:<$text text={{{[<currentTiddler>get[field2]] }}}/>
</$vars>
The problem here is actually not the `<$edit-text>` widget but the `<$vars>`
widget – it (and all the widgets it contains) gets refreshed each time the
value of field2 changes.
Best wishes
Jeremy.
