The answer to that question is much harder than to fix the underlying
problem in wdired (which should be quite easy).
AFAIU we just need a (save-restriction (widen) ...) wrapper for the code
of `wdired--before-change-fn' and `wdired--restore-properties'. You can
try that in your instance, e.g. using an advice.
