Why? 

> Therefore it has a minimum width that fit its content. Or at least it should...

Not at all, the dialog/pane widget for the Sidebar Deck simply expands open or
closed, and widgets for the objects in each Content Panel respond according to
their packing. Shrinking hides widgets until reaching a "minimum" width--before
the deck collapses--which is the minimum that fully displays a full button
object. That "minimum" changes depending on the widgets exposed on each content
panel.

Or, provide a scroll bar for a pane calculated against the full packing of
button objects for all Content Panels occupying the full Deck.

Or, provide a scroll bar for each individual Content Panel (but that would add
visual clutter)

Or, complete work needed to provide stateful customization of the
sidebar--start with reasonable defaults, and then allow user to set their
preferred Deck exposure for working in documents with _each_ module.
