So it works as expected (kind of). It is possible that it was not
intended for "layer" option to imply "ewmhiwa" option too.
Anyway, use "Maximize grow grow" or change the panel layer to do what you
want.

These are only hints. What to do with windows larger than the screen

Dominik changed the behaviour of StaysOnTop and other similar Style
options. It now works for new windows only. For existing windows use:
All (fbpanel) Layer 0 6
I think it was intended.
