Same issue here
It seems to affect different panel applets randomly. Doesn't happen every time.
But it's a pain, because I install Mint 11 now for customers.
Logout and In seems the easiest or just 'don't delete' and ignore the missing icon and carry on as usual.

Bug description:
  **********PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU ADD YOUR
  COMMENT/SCREENSHOT*****************

  Please take a look at the list of duplicate bugs. Please think on how
  many people get notified when you add anything to this bug report.
  Please don't confirm the bug it is already confirmed. Please don't
  attach further screenshots - we all know how the problem looks. We all
  appreciate your involvement, but read previous post carefully prior
  you post your own. We need to draw constructive conclusions and find
  the solution.

  Binary package hint: gnome-panel, nm-applet, etc...

  SUMMARY:

  After graphical logon notification area gets scrambled. Icons are in
  terrible mess. Some of them are overlapping others. Sometimes network
  manager icon is missing. Sometimes phantom icons show up. They can be
  clones of any other icons in the notification area. Bug affects any
  graphics card: ATI, nVidia, Intel...

  WORKAROUND 1:

  Run 'killall gnome-panel' from the terminal or Gnome's "Run" dialog.
  The panels will automatically respawn correctly.

  WORKAROUND 2:

  When you get your icons distorted right-click on the affected panel
  (not icons) click "Properties". In "Panel Properties" change panel
  orientation to "Left" or "Right" and back to "Top" or "Bottom". In my
  case all icons are displayed properly, but one (nm-applet) is missing.

  WORKAROUND 3:

  Right click the Gnome panel and remove the offending applets and re-
  add them, i.e. Indicator Applet, etc.

  WORKAROUND 4:

  Right click the Gnome panel, click on Properties, Check Add Hide
  Buttons. and Close. Enough for now. If the error "runs" to lower
  panel, repeat the steps.
