1. open gconf-editor and go to /apps/panel/toplevels/panel_0(for me)/
2. uncheck "enable_animations"
3. click the drawer and you'll get a normal popup of the drawer, but it's located in the top left corner of the screen
4. check "enable_animations" again
5. click the drawer. Nothing pops up.
6. uncheck "enable_animations" again.
7. click the drawer. Now, it pops up quickly, and in the correct place... but only once.
Perhaps this is some help? This bug is sneaking up on 1 year...
Confirming, but with some info.
