Public bug reported:

When dynamically setting a label with app_indicator_set_label(), the
width of an indicator changes. As per the docs at
http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/devel/ubuntu-12.04/c/AppIndicator3-0.1.html,
the parameter guide can be specified to give a maximum size. Whatever
string is given in guide however, the behaviour does not change and the
whole bar of indicators does jiggle as before

The docs say:

gchar*"label-guide"read/write

An optional string to provide guidance to the panel on how big the
#AppIndicator:label string could get. If this is set correctly then the
panel should never 'jiggle' as the string adjusts through out the range
of options. For instance, if you were providing a percentage like "54%
thrust" in #AppIndicator:label you'd want to set this string to "100%
thrust" to ensure space when Scotty can get you enough power.
