Ah, I had remembered the two different id's but missed that the resources 
appear identical. If true possibly a bug. 
A little more checking...

#define kCustomAliasIconID -16496

Mention of -16545 here for example

Again this seems to relate to custom icon id's so it is still possibly a 
duplicate bug. But you also still might have to do more digging to be sure 
having both id's doesn't have some special meaning to the Finder that is 
arguably non-buggy? Maybe some situation where having both id's means the 
Finder will correctly use the right icon where without the second one it 
wouldn't. Possibly an archaic situation so the newer code can omit it but the 
Finder has never been updated to change the archaic behavior? But it might take 
more verifying to be sure of which.
