Qt applications seem to be much more likely to trigger the bug.

No. Bug description doesn't affects xfce4-panel. I mean that:
1) Open VLC to fullscreen
See vlc on fullscreen, no panels, all is ok.
2) After few seconds i see old window, that was opened before vlc (f.e. thunar)
Then i can click to vlc on panel and all will be ok (again no panels)

I know bug with panel showing, but i thought it's vlc bug, because when i resize vlc window to simple (not fullscreen) and then double clicking at center of the window, vlc opening to full-screen and again no panels shown
