Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If you set vertical orientation for a panel containing indicator applets
(as in the default configuration), then only the first item is shown.
See attached 1.png.

What's actually happening is that the applets aren't changing
orientation, and are still displaying their icons horizontally ---
expanding the panel reveals them; see 2.png. However, the default size
of a vertical panel is such that the list of icons is clipped in a way
that looks intentional. It isn't obvious where the icons have gone; they
just appear to vanish. This is Bad.

(As you can see from the second screenshot, merely widening the panel
isn't really a workaround to this due to the poor way in which other
applets resize themselves; see the network monitor. The indicator
applets ought to be displaying their icons vertically.)

(The striped background is #534582.)
