As this is a fairly old bug with no recents reports or comments, and it seems to be fixed in System Monitor 3.3.4 on Precise, see the attached screenshot showing the result after following the steps to reproduce from the comments, I am marking this as Fix released. Feel free to reopen this if you manage to reproduce this, and comment with the exact steps to reproduce the issue.

The top command does displays the process taking up the CPU. I don't have specific steps to reproduce, but the un-shown process is usually a background processes such as updatedb. I run the system monitor panel applet and try to investigate when my system slows down because something is using the processor, so I am bothered by this bug often. I have noticed this behaviour in Hardy, Intrepid, and Jaunty.
