I would bet my money on buggy battery applet. For me the panel is messed up only when I have no battery charger connected and I boot with battery not fully charged. For example yesterday - the indicator applet was messed up again. There were two battery icons: one showed half-full battery (the not working phantom one that replaced the network applet) and the other one showed empty red (this one could be clicked). Battery was half full at that time. After "killall gnome-panel" only the empty red battery icon appeared. But clicking on that icon told me that there was more than 2 hours battery still left.
