Bug Description
To reproduce this problem using Ubuntu 14.04:
1- Reduce unity transparency to minimum (I did this using Unity tweak)
2- Connect second screen. External screen is the main one, with unity launcher;
3- Maximize a window in the laptop screen (non main).
4- Drag the window out of maximization.
The result is that the panel background will become 100% transparent. The text from the window title will have disappeared, but a black shadow will be left in it's place.

Same deal here. 14.04.1, fully updated, etc. Running on a Dell Latitude E7440 that even came with Ubuntu on it. If I plug in a second display after the system is booted, the top panel on the secondary monitor goes transparent. If I boot the system up with the monitor plugged in, no issue.
If I issue a restart to unity (ALT + F2, unity --replace), then it comes back fine.
This does not happen if your panel is default transparency, though it does happen if the transparency of the panel has been adjusted (at least in my experience).
