This happens because theme designers "cheat" by creating their desired panel look as an image. As far as I know, there is no way to theme vertical and horizontal panels individually in a gtk theme. If the theme designer does not use an appropriate image, you get problems when the panel is larger than the image, as in comment #5. If you don't use a solid color for the panel background, you get problems with vertical panels. This really is just one bug in a long list associated with vertical Gnome panels, which is a shame since they make sense to use with widescreen displays.
