Yup, I think when at higher zoom levels the ground covered at a normal pan speed is too fast for the processor to cope with. Also, if handheld it is much harder to keep the camera level when panning. I noticed that the in camera panos on my FZ330 are very good but it is at a fixed 24mm example https://www.flickr.com/photos/dieselgolfer/29677360730/in/album-72157651603418606/ . Tried with the G7 + 14-140mm and got more failures than successes, with more success toward the wider end of the zoom range. It'll be interesting to see how the G80/85 performs, better I suspect due to more powerful processor.
