I did not get the error, but checked the php documentation and found this : http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.deprecated.php It seems that same names should not be an issue since our class does implement a __construct() method :
function wptreehouse_badges_widget() {
// Instantiate the parent object
parent::__construct( false, 'Official Treehouse Badges Widget' );
}
(providing you kept that part).
Or I may be wrong. Just glad to know that I'm not completely alone in this class.

Just sharing the below worked fine for me:
class Wptreehouse_Badges_Widget extends WP_Widget {
function __construct() {
// Instantiate the parent object
parent::__construct( false, 'Official Treehouse Badges Widget' );
}
