I've seen the same thing with my applications, though in my case I don't
care much about it.

One thing you could try is kill the application in question. Then add an
arbitrary icon to the tray bar and remove it. This should cause Windows to
completely redraw the tray bar and remove any unused icons.

Just an idea off the top of my head.
