Hmm, I think the panel does not scale up icons and gtk icon theme returns a small version of the icon. If you choose an svg icon theme (like Rodent), this should not happen (at least if gtk supports svg). Could you try that?
Problem is also when the panel requested size (in the panel configuration dialog) isn't the current size. Example with the orage plugin, which need space to display itself. Try to set panel size to 16 and add a launcher and the orage plugin with 3 rows. Launcher stays at size 16 while the panel in indeed larger. This is true even with an SVG theme like Rodent.

I guess this is more or less fixed since the panel-plugins are not allowed to request more space then the panel size. This way plugins that don't respect the panel size are chopped.
Marking this as fixed. We force an allocated plugin size (so misbehaving plugins don't resize the panel, but are chopped), but it's up to the plugin developer the respect the size send to the panel plugin.
