This is deliberate. The gnome-panel 3.x panels and applets configuration
is not compatible with the gnome-panel 2.x in several ways (applets
naming, location on the panels). Add to that the extreme complexity of
the panel settings, a migration script is not really feasible. Worse, it
would lose the top-right menu, hence losing the ability to logout.

All in all this is not going to change.
