Dear Simon, That is odd and annoying. I am afraid I cannot reproduce that behavior (although I am on unstable, I have not seen the behavior some time ago either).
The only possible workaround I can suggest is setting your taskbar to be always visible, keep it like that until the next reboot and then switch back to auto-hide. It (seemed to) help(ed) me in the past.
