Don't have a bigger monitor at home but tried manually reducing the
resolution including rotation of the screen. After restoring to
default, panel items still are on the upper right in the right order.
Tried under Unity and Gnome.

Then:
Only under Gnome I was able to add further items to the panel and to
unlock the panel and move it. Made several tests and now I can tell
you exactly when it happens (still on Natty Narwhal):

Steps to reproduce:
1. Unlock applets on the upper right panel.
2. Reduce screen resolution and apply.
3. Move applet(s) more to the left and back to the right corner.
4. Increase screen resolution and apply.

You can see that panel applets remain somewhere in the middle
(according to lower resolution top right).

The problem seems, that when you put something on the rightmost
position, it saves that as absolute position from the left. When you
put something to the right top, it should save the position
calculating from the right side or something like this.
