The issue is that the extension uses the work area for positioning, but gnome-shell skips setting it for the greeter.
I suspect that that's just an optimization - the main purpose of the work area is to determine the area that can be occupied by windows, and there are no windows on the login screen - and the issue can be addressed in gnome-shell itself. Otherwise I'll have to come up with a work around in the extension.

Done now upstream in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2546.
Packages:
gnome-shell-40.10-4.el9
gnome-shell-extension-classification-banner-40.7-3.el9.noarch.rpm
There is no longer an overlap or conflict with the top bar of GDM and the classification banner using the above packages. See attached screenshot. I will say the off center "TOP SECRET" due to including the system info, but that's a topic for another bug.
