So, the discussion on this bug strayed a little bit. Perhaps more than a little bit. But, with regards to the original issue of the icon hiding that is implemented in the current release. If there are no launchers (or they are hidden) and there is no running applications indicating anything, the icon is hidden. I'm marking this as "Fix Released".
