Uncheck "keep panel below windows (gnome-compliant window managers
only)" in the same dialog.

The text in the dialog, I think, used to indicate that "raise panels
on mouse-over" only works for old window managers and not
with gnome-compliant window managers.

You might want to submit a bug to bugzilla.gnome.org (component
gnome-core) suggesting that the "Raise panels on mouse-over" option be
removed, since almost everyone has a gnome-compliant window manager
now.

[ I could be completely wrong about this - this is from memory,
  and without checking the source code. ]
