A few weeks ago we did an investigation with Mikael on IRC and this
behavior happens because XEmacs sets its icon property too late - after
OB sets its own and caches it, thus never rediscovers the correct one.
AFAIK, one possible workaround is to disable icon cache (code change).

Last time we talked, it wasn't known who abuses ICCCM here, OB or
XEmacs :-(
