After some changes, this is pretty much fine now IMO.

I should note that this is a laptop with a 1600 x 900 screen, and I often use
it with an external 1920x1200 monitor. It looks similar on either screen.

Hm that is odd indeed, it doesn't look like that with my panel height on my
machine.

Also I disagree that the "Huh, where did my window go?"  use case is one that
justifies something that will be in the screen at all times (and certainly not
as something you cannot disable and is on by default). If you have icon
grouping enabled, having multiple windows grouped (not hidden) under the icon
is routine...no one is going to have much more than a fleeting single "Huh,
where did my window go?"  experience when they are a completely new to it. It
adds unnecessary clutter for the majority of cases for a single edge case.

My panel is not that tiny. And believe me, my eyes are not that great, I'm not
someone who has his screen with everything set really fine.  I suspect there is
some additional element of screen geometry or something at play. I'll see if
there are any specific numbers I can report about my configuration. If you have
any suggestions where to get some useful numbers, please let me know.

Having an indicator that there are additional windows hidden behind a taskbar
entry does make sense (as it prevents any "Huh, where did my window go?" kind
of situations).
The problem is just that in tiny panels (I'm impressed that you can actually
work with such a tiny panel!), the application icon becomes tiny but the
indicator keeps its size, thus covering the whole icon.

The indicator should therefore scale with the icon. That does mean that at some
point it becomes invisible, but as long as it's visible in the default panel
height, I don't see much of a problem with that.

It would be wonderful if there were some way to simply turn off this feature.
This is a new feature that, in my opinion, is really not in any way useful,
even if it worked properly. One only looks at the Task bar if one is about to
use it, and by using it immediately finds out how many windows the icon is
grouping. Knowing ahead of that click is not really of any benefit that I can
see.

I really cannot imagine a case where I would glance at the bar to find out how
many windows an application has open. And if there is such a use case it is
rare enough that it does not warrant having this icon present all the time. So
actually a good fix for this would be to simply remove this feature entirely.
