I'm personally not aware what portion of compiz or unity failed.  i would suggest you try to reproduce the bug and see for yourself.  To give you some bit of information, I did:
$ Xephyr :8
$ ps axww | sort > /tmp/out.1
$ DISPLAY=:8 compiz
$ ps axww | sort > /tmp/out.2
$ diff /tmp/out.1 /tmp/out.2

Cleaning the un-related differences, I see:
- 1644 tty8     Ss+    0:11 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-4XTgXB/database -nolisten tcp
+ 1644 tty8     Rs+    0:14 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-4XTgXB/database -nolisten tcp

+ 4149 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh -c metacity --replace
+ 4150 ?        Sl     0:00 gnome-panel
+ 4151 ?        Sl     0:00 metacity --replace
+ 4168 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/lib/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=27
+ 4180 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/lib/gnome-panel/wnck-applet
+ 4182 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/lib/gnome-applets/cpufreq-applet
+ 4184 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/lib/gnome-applets/multiload-applet-2
+ 4186 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/lib/indicator-applet/indicator-applet-complete


In this case, the gnome-panel got launched on compiz exit. Previously, I don't think it had.  So thats why the additional panel related processes.
