FVWM: FvwmButtonsPanel placement issue

I've just upgraded to 2.1.10, and finally decided to tackle converting
my configuration to use some of the more recent features. Primarily,
I'm trying to see how much of what I did in the past with FvwmWharf
and FvwmTaskBar can actually be done with FvwmButtons.

I think I found a problem with the Panel placement logic. I'm
attaching my configuration below. The gist of what I've discovered is
that if the panel invoked with "Panel(up) has padding set to 0 0, the
panel always appears at +0+0 on the screen. If I take the Padding
setting off the panel, the panel comes up where you would expect it to
(above the invoking button).

I'm posting here first before the developer's list because I'm not
certain if this is a bug, or if I just misunderstand something.
