Since kernel 3.14: LXPanel 'ressources monitor' broken

3.14.1-1-ARCH i686 GNU/Linux:

Since last update the applet which is to show the ressources monitoring (cpu load and memory usage) in the lxpanel does only show the cpu load but not memory usage anymore.
The memory usage field in the lxpanel is gone or appears mutilated when right clicking on it.
The only lx component that was updated today was
lxtask (0.1.4-4 -> 0.1.4.-5)
but downgrading did not solve the issue so I have no idea which upgraded component causes this issue.

EDIT:
64bit: 3.14.1-1-ARCH x86_64 GNU/Linux is also affected: The 'memory usage' field is shown but empty and always tells 'memory usage: 0,0MB (0,00%)'
LTS:  3.10.38-1-lts i686 GNU/Linux is NOT affected - so it seems to be a kernel issue?

Downgrading kernel 3.14.0-4 ( x86_64): issue persists
Downgrading kernel 3.13.8-1 ( x86_64): issue is gone!!

Ergo: It is a kernel 3.14 related issue!

I just upgraded to 3.14.4-1 (x86_64) and the issue seems to be fixed.
