Hi Alan,
I'm not convinced this is a bug.
There is the use case that a developer would want to show the pegman when
street view is programmatically shown (as you have on your site), but not
the use of the regular StreetView control (which fills up the whole map
container with StreetView).
Remove this line in tdigoogfuncs.js:
map.setStreetView(myPano2);
and the map won't be associated (and therefore, show the pegman) with your
StreetView panel.
Cheers
Chris
