So you are getting this problem with gnome-classic session, not with
gnome-flashback session, right?

gnome-classic session has nothing to do with gnome-panel, so if the problem
appears only there, this bug needs to be reassigned to gnome-shell-extensions
package which provides that package. Please reassign it yourself or let me
know if you want me to do it.
