If I select 'autohide' in MATE's lower panel properties, it can autohide 
and when I click on hide button, I still have button on lower right/left 
of the screen, so I can bring panel back.

I can only guess it could have something to do with Virtualbox and it's 
(absent?) VirtualBox integration application(s) for VirtualBox guest 
machine.
(Running OI hipster on hardware, so I haven't try it in VBox recently).
