(Get the code!)
I disagree that this isn't a papercut, unless the last point ("In a default application of a release under development") is the case. To whit:
:A bug, or an unintended problem occurring within an existing piece of software, **Absolutely. This behaviour sees users, and especially users with trackpads, see window managment issues
:the presence of which makes a computer more difficult or less pleasant to use, ** Definitely, see above comments
:that is easy to fix, ** Patch is above
:that the average user would encounter, ** On a netbook or laptop this is trivial to trigger; it's not a lot harder to trigger with a mouse, either.
This leaves:
:In a default application of the Ubuntu or Kubuntu release currently under development OR in any of the featured applications.
Is the panel being replaced in the next release with one that doesn't exhibit this behaviour? Otherwise, this absolutely a papercut bug. It's very easy to place the cursor over the window list applet; it's demonstrated in Fitt's law that a screen edge control is much, much easier to hit.
