I disagree that it's unhelpful. It's very likely that there are several unrelated bugs in several unrelated indicators that all cause similar problems. The unity-panel- indicator program itself is a very small, lean program that just loads indicators (which are plugins), provides a drawing context, and dispatches the main event loop.
The issue in this bug is one or more issues in one or more indicators. Identifying the indicators causing the problem is the first necessary step to finding the problem in those indicators. The appmenu is one indicator found to have a serious resource leak when closing (and possibly when switching) apps, resulting in a steadily growing global table of callback pointers. Others, like Clementine, may possibly spamming DBus with updates (speculation on my part). More information is better. We can created new bugs for specific problems that are identified, when they are identified. The one problem, one bug principle will remain unviolated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

I killed it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see why it was totally pegging out a CPU. I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short while after that.
