I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Your original description says that the panel fails to load. But you now say that you click on Applications -> Accessories -> Panel. To be able to do this, the panel must already be loaded.
If this is the case, then the behaviour you describe is correct (you see the startup notify, but nothing else happens because the panel is actually already loaded). The Applications -> Accessories -> Panel menu item is hidden by default, and there is normally no need for you to show and use this menu item. If you want to add applets such as date/time to the panel, then right click on empty space on the panel, and select 'Add to Panel'. Can you confirm that I've understood you correctly? If so, then there is no bug here.
