After a few hours of digging i found out that gnome-panel is relying on buggy
behaviour of glib 2.4, which was fixed in the recently upload glib 2.6

With glib 2.6, g_find_program_in_path("") will return NULL as expected. With
glib 2.4 though, it returns the first existing entry in your $PATH (DOH).. 

Now gnome-panel tests the TryExec field entry as it supposed to, but an empty
entry is equel to "".. Which glib 2.4 thinks is a valid executable in your
path, but not so anymore with glib 2.6

Clean patch is in the making..
