Don't hold your breath on this bug. The fix is more complicated than meets the eye. I have looked into the source code and reported upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137473 .

Basically the "panel_right_stick" gconf is not treated consistently between an "object" and an "applet" on the panel.

Going through the steps that originally describe the bug:
An "applet" will always lose it's "panel_right_stick"=TRUE and receive a relatively large "position" value.
An "object" can obtain a "panel_right_stick"=TRUE (even if originally "panel_right_stick"=FALSE)

Furthermore there is no UI method for "Right Stick to Panel" in the same way there is a UI method for "Lock to Panel".

Fixing these issues could cause breakage to the gnome-panel API hooks.
