When you drop a icon in the trash, the triggered operation can fail. We remove that icon when we're sure that the operation has been successful.
E.g. quitting an application can fail, ejecting a device can fail, etc.

@Andrea - does that mean it is expected behaviour for the icon to appear in the launcher (just above the switcher icon)for a split second after being dropped into trash? Please clarify.

Week 34- Same issue observed on ubuntu 12.10 Quantal with ppa:timo-jyrinki/prerelease

Action:
#. Move the mouse so it is over a launcher icon for an application
#. Press and hold the mouse button
#. Drag the icon down and drop it into trash

@Nice I'd say there is not an exptected behaviour ATM. Needs design discussion.
