It's strange, spectacle had no executable permission, and when I looked at the properties it says no one can execute it. The problem icons all had executable permissions, and the properties were anybody can execute. I removed the executable permissions, but no difference. When I have a chance, I'll try restarting X to see if it picks up the new properties of these icons, and they then have the same behavior as spectacle. I think you are onto something, since the executable permissions were such a match for behavior, if in a negative manner.
