For anyone else who is experiencing this same bug, I seem to have found
a workaround: the trick is to create one separate Application Launch
Bar for each application launcher you need to define.

After applying this trick, each configured launcher seems to be always
displayed, without any issues...

The resulting panel configuration is something like:

  $ cat ~/.config/lxpanel/default/panels/panel 
  # lxpanel <profile> config file. Manually editing is not recommended.
  # Use preference dialog in lxpanel to adjust config when you can.
  
  Global {
    edge=bottom
    allign=left
    margin=275
    widthtype=percent
    width=100
    height=28
    transparent=1
    tintcolor=#dcdad5
    alpha=255
    setdocktype=1
    setpartialstrut=1
    usefontcolor=1
    fontcolor=#10394d
    usefontsize=0
    fontsize=10
    background=0
    backgroundfile=/usr/share/lxpanel/images/background.png
    align=right
  }
  Plugin {
    type=launchbar
    Config {
      Button {
        id=uxterm-start-login.desktop
      }
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=launchbar
    Config {
      Button {
        id=xscreensaver-lock-screen.desktop
      }
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=space
    Config {
      Size=10
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=pager
    Config {
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=space
    Config {
      Size=10
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=taskbar
    Config {
      ShowAllDesks=0
      MaxTaskWidth=150
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=space
    Config {
      Size=10
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=tray
    Config {
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=space
    Config {
      Size=10
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=dclock
    Config {
      ClockFmt=%R
      TooltipFmt=%a, %d %b %Y
      BoldFont=1
      IconOnly=0
      CenterText=1
    }
  }
  Plugin {
    type=space
    Config {
      Size=5
    }
  }
