Start Menu shortcut icons corrupted after launching IcoFx

This might sound strange, but I experienced this twice: first, something like a year ago or longer, when I was running Windows 7 64b on my notebook. Now it happened again, on a fresh Windows 8.1 64b install, and right in front of my eyes. For this second occasion, description follows:
I installed TortoiseHg some days ago, v3.4+7, on Win 8.1 64 bit. Everything's fine. Earlier today or yesterday I installed IcoFx program, without never launching it, not even after setup.
Couple of minutes ago I had TortoiseHg Workbench open, with its icon visible in task bar. I launched IcoFx for the first time, and right after that the Workbench icon in task bar turned to the same icon as IcoFx:
The same happened for advertised shortcut icons found in TortoiseHg start menu group, although the icons shown change if you look at Win 8 Start menu:
or if you open the start menu group in explorer:
As far as I can tell now, I only noticed this for TortoiseHg group.
PS by the way, the link on top of this page, where it says "Please consult BugReport...", is broken and it shows a 404 page.
