Public bug reported:

Tested on Unity 7.1.2+14.04.20140328.1-0ubuntu1

If Unity restarts, either by crashing or manually with "restart unity-
panel-service" or "unity --replace", when Unity comes back, I can no
longer see my custom indicators.  I am still able to see the default
indicators (sync, messages, sound, datetime, and session), but not the
ones I have installed: sensors, cpufreq, multiload, weather, etc.  These
indicators are still running and appear in the process list, I just
can't see them in the panel.  I still see notifications from them.  If I
kill and restart any of these indicators, they run fine, but I still
cannot see them in the panel.  The only way I have found to get them
back is to completely log out and  back in.

I can't figure out what differentiates these "custom" indicators from
the default ones that would cause them not to appear.  With weather-
indicator, I even created an upstart job to control it.  If no one else
is able to reproduce this, please let me know how best to debug it
further.
