A confirmation dialog would clarify that the launcher isn't more then a plain textfile untill it gets executable rights and therefore explain why it wouldn't show an icon. As running a launcher it the default choice for a user they would certainly confirm the question and thus not be confronted with an iconless something on their desktop. And what better time to make that choise on creation?
Ofcourse I rather see it just set the right permissions by itself.
