Reason for closing:  Not a bug

I think this is caused by panel and plugin using different toolkits... Xfce4-panel is gtk2, xfce4-power-manager is gtk3. This happens whenever themes do not match...
Can we do anything about it (beside waiting for the panel being ported to gtk3)?

greybird just fixed it on their end

Ah, right. So this is not xfce4-power-manager's fault. Go blame the theme authors... (Or GTK+ 3.0 for changing APIs and whatever...)
