Incidently I have the exact same setup and my Ubuntu 10.04 installation also 
exhibits the exact same behaviour. Very strange this.
I also consider this to be a usability issue.

Display resolutions are exactly the same:
1440x900 for the main (laptop-integrated) display. 1280x1024 for the external 
display.
Panel at the bottom of the main screen set to auto-hide.

I probably can -- sort of -- manage, with carefully placing the mouse-
cursor to the bottom edge of the main screen. It's not very comfortable
or even quick, though.

Dual screen mode: setting bottom panel to autohide when second screen has 
larger resolution causes panel to be difficult to access/use
