The panel being at the bottom of the upper monitor, it sets the struts
for the bottom side to be the size of monitor 1 + panel height.

The WM avoiding placing windows beyond struts boundaries, that explain
the behaviour you see.

I would consider this a bug in the panel.

Note: I suspect there is some lines missing from the xprop outpout you
posted, the actual struts are not listed.
