When an application opens several windows before metacity starts,
metacity sometimes gets confused and swaps the places of the windows
when trying to recreate the window positions from the previous session,
i.e. the wrong windows at the right positions.
I have seen this a couple of times (but not yet with panels).

If your WM is metacity, then maybe the weird behavior is metacity's
fault.
