No. The panel is not placed correctly at login. Let me describe the
problem in more detail.
I usually use a single edge panel at the top of the screen (since I
have all these problems with the menu panel, I don't use it). Starting
from that configuration, I can create a menu panel:
-- right-click on the edge panel and select properties
(the "top" position is depressed)
-- I select the "bottom" position
(the edge panel is now at the bottom of my screen)
-- I right click on the edge panel, select New Panel -> Menu Panel
(a menu panel appears at the top of my screen)
(I now have a menu panel at the top, and an edge panel at the bottom)
-- From the menu panel, select Actions -> Log out
(I have a GNOME preference set to always save my session on logout)
-- Log in
When I log in again, the menu panel is at the top of the screen, and the
edge panel is underneath it, with only a few pixels visible.
-- I right click on the edge panel (hard because it's mostly obscured by
the menu panel)
(when I do that, the edge panel comes to the front, obscuring the menu
panel)
-- Select "Properties"
In the "Panel Properties" dialog that comes up, the "bottom" position is
depressed, as in this screenshot:

Yet the panel is clearly not at the bottom, it's near the top.
If I log out and log in again, the same thing happens; the two panels are
placed on top of each other at the top of the screen.

I have only one possibility for the "top" position, as you can see in
the panel2.png screenshot.
I have GNOME panel version 2.2.2 (right click on the panel, select
"About panels").
I can move the edge panel to any of four positions: top, left, right,
and bottom. If I use the properties dialog to move the panel around,
the panel never overlaps with the menu panel. It's only on login that
the two panels are placed incorrectly.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you want me to describe anything else
in more detail.
