In lxpanel2.vala you have a class `Lxpanel' in the namespace `Lxpanel'.
This means that the symbol `Lxpanel' will be resolved to the class
`Lxpanel.Lxpanel' instead of the global namespace `Lxpanel' - when
referenced from within the namespace `Lxpanel'.

valac typically detects such conflicts and prefixes the name with
`global::' in the generated .vapi file. However, as the conflict is not
in the lxpanel-applet library, it's impossible for valac to detect that
conflict when generating the .vapi file.

I recommend you to rename the class `Lxpanel.Lxpanel' to something else
such as `Lxpanel.Panel'.
