Work around
I was messing with the Lockbackground.html file over the weekend, and kinda figure out a work around for the time being, before a fix is released from Cydia.
There are 2 steps to this process.
1 - I opened Lockbackground.html with wordpad or notepad, search for the text:
background-color: #000;
then I changed the color (#000) to none.
2 - SSH or use ifile and goto your LockHTML/Winterboard theme(XXXX) directory, rename or delete the file LockBackground.jpg (or whatever your theme wallpaper is called)
LockHTML - /var/mobile/Library/LockHTML/XXXX/LockBackground.jpg
Winterboard - /var/Library/Themes/XXXX/LockBackground.jpg
The result is NOT perfect, you HTML widget will overlap the notification, but at least you can see it without unlock your phone

If/when this gets fixed, do you think there will be an easy way to move the notification location so it doesn't block the clock?
Didnt' work for me, instead I have shadow on my icon labels now. The White Icon Labels theme doesn't work anymore
