I don't know if this can be helpful to you, but TW2 decides the name of the parameters from the "key" option of the widget. By default this is equal to the id, but the key can be totally different so that you can name the arguments your controller will receive as you wish.
This is especially useful when your argument has a name which is not valid as a CSS id. I'm not totally sure about how the key behaves with nested widgets as I don't remember if it is chained by colons or not, but it might be the solution to your problem.
