It's suggested on IRC that this may be fixed in ubiquity 2.7.24:

08:31 < ev> the panel getting cropped is probably due to the indicator path being wrong
08:32 < ev> Mario fixed that in trunk
08:32 < cjwatson> in fact that fix has been uploaded hasn't it?

ubiquity (2.7.24) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Use only gtk3 in oem-config-remove-gtk (2.7.23 was also using gtk2).
  * Update the directory for the panel to search for indicators.

Please re-test with the most recent daily image (20110831) and let us know if the bug is still present.

Actually this bug still occurs with an ISO from 20110831 - while the panel is no longer cropped it actually isn't there at all which is the incorrect behavior.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.7.30

---------------
ubiquity (2.7.30) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Harald Sitter ]
  * [KDE] Fix language selection comobox position within grid (LP: #743062)
  * [KDE] Make intro label miminum expanding, otherwise word wrap will not
    work for vast amounts of text

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Unset UBUNTU_MENUPROXY so our custom panel doesn't lose its
    indicators (LP: #837287).
  * Port the panel to GTK3.
  * Manually connect the activate-link signal on the advanced
    partitioning tool link on the automatic partitioning page.
    GtkBuilder signal mapping appears to be broken (LP: #852054).
  * The first partitioning page does not translate its options ahead of
    time, so ensure that the placeholder text isn't so long as to create
    the installer window to grow excessively large before partitioning
    is reached (LP: #837406).
  * Use the new network-manager interface on the prepare page to disable
    options that need an Internet connection when one is not available
    (LP: #848938).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel
    2.28ubuntu33.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Change wallpaper C program to accept a path to a wallpaper as a parameter.
  * Update ubiquity-dm to set the right wallpaper for Edubuntu.
  * Fix ibus in Ubiquity (LP: #838850)

  [ Aurélien Gâteau ]
  * gui/qt/stepKeyboardConf.ui
   - Put keyboard variable combobox on separate line (LP: #851160)

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * kde_ui.py
   - Fix breakage in debfilter crash dialogue
