i can confirm this bug testing xfce4-panel and lxpanel in natty with system-tray enabled. the bug only affects the status-icon, not the icons in the menu that is shown when the applet is clicked.
instead of the connection-icon a "missing-icon" is shown. also: the tooltip doesn't work.

note that when using the plugins displaying the ayatana-indicators the icon/s are displayed correctly.

Seems like this would be another duplicate of bug 746495
