Public bug reported:

Gnome Shell disables extensions on screen lock.
If, for example, new mail will arrived in Thunderbird during screen locked, no 
badges will be shown on unlock.
Also, lock/unlock screen while badges displayed will clear them.

So, in current implementation, badges looks very unreliable to rely on
them, and looks more a mess than a feature.

Solution may be adding a user space daemon, which interact with
applications even when dock extension is disabled, and provide badges
information for dock.
