If one uses autohide, this problem doesn't really exist because all of the space below that corner is also being used. However, if one uses the always-visible launcher, then the problem does exist. I suggest that, if the user is using an always-visible launcher, the launcher goes all the way to the top of the screen, cutting down those ~48px of space from the panel but also removing that ugly corner. Yes, the panel will be a little shorter, but it is, in my opinion, a good sacrifice to remove that visual "glitch". Not sure if this has been suggested before, but I'll suggest it again if it has.
