Dang, I thought I was going crazy, I can confirm this bug exists. I've had it happen with regular files but I can reproduce it consistently by doing the following:
1. Open a "normal" file
2. Open a binary file or something that brings up the "Broken Encoding" dialog (I used a JPEG file)
The icons rearrange themselves for the second file. Clicking back and forth between the two files on the Tab Bar will eventually (after a couple of clicks) result in the icons becoming the same.
