All basic UI elements in blender (e.g. panels, buttons, sliders, etc) 
are deleted and re-created on each redraw loop.  Thus, to update the 
panel you have to queue or force a redraw, (with allqueue(REDRAWVIEW3D, 
1); if I recall correctly).  In space.c, allqueue, scrarea_do_windraw, 
and scrarea_queue_windraw are the relevant functions IIRC.
