Hello,
I am actually seeing this problem. I am running unity-2d from the PPA (version 5.2.0+bzr878ubuntu0+inline). The problem is not just on the panel. If I plug my laptop (screen resolution 1440x900) on the docking station (screen resolution 1680x1050), turn off the laptop screen and turn on the external monitor here's what happens:
1) the external monitor resolution is ok
2) the panel length on the external monitor is 1440
3) the wallpaper size on the external monitor is still of size 1440x900 and the empty space is filled up by tiling the wallpaper image
4) when I move windows around it seems like the size of the desktop is equal to the sum of the external and the laptop screen even if the laptop screen is off.

The only way to fix this is to restart X.
When I plug the laptop off the docking station things go pretty much the other way around

I hope I managed to explain the problem clearly.

I didn't have these problem with the standard (non PPA) unity-2d version.
