This could be resolved by changing the indicator applet's description.

Right now it is "An indicator of something that needs your attention on the 
desktop"
Not sure what an appropriate new string would be, but if it has key words like 
"sound," "volume" and "battery" it would at least appear via the search 
function.

However, I think it's really important to point out that this has
already been the case; notification area has a very vague description:
"Area where notification icons appear." There is no reasonable way
someone can get from there to recognizing that volume control, network
status and battery status appear there.

This, then, brings us to another issue: why is the problem only being observed 
now when we've had it forever? Why are people needing to re-add this panel 
applet?
SilverWave, could I ask how you came to not have the applet?
(My babbling here ultimately drifts into bug #519553).
