I would expect the icon to be deleted when the launcher is deleted or to insert a warning when you create the icon or when you delete the launcher. I know this may sound trivial, but it took me a while to realize that the icon that was created was not a launcher.
Also, I may need to make a new bug for this, but the grey square with an X in it appears even when the old launcher is not deleted.
