It appears dash-to-dock is listening for 'workareas-changed' correctly. The problem is the first 'workareas-changed' happens before the panel exists, so it's the wrong work area. And then the second 'workareas- changed' happens around 900ms after the panel is allocated, which is also after the startup animation. So it seems the bug really is that 'workareas-changed' is not being emitted between the panel being allocated and the startup animation completing. This would affect a variety of extensions; not just docks but also desktop icons.
