I am seeing this behaviour with Gutsy Beta, the panel is not running after the LiveCD has booted.
You can get it by right-clicking and 'add launcher' with xfce4-panel as the application. Double click the created launcher icon to get panel (i.e. it does work on the this machine).
The machine in question is a Dell Prescision 210 with 450MByte RAM.
