I would like to add, that it seems that the area that the icons display on the secondary monitor, is the same area as the size of the primary screen. I just witnessed a notification which normally appears normally on the primary screen if the only screen was the primary one, but the notification appeard one third down on the right side of the secondary monitor.

This is no longer a problem anymore, most likely due to a recent update.
