Hi RobinJ, and thank you for this bug. This has been a late-landing feature in Ubuntu, and also in Unity 2D, so it seems there are still some kinks to be worked out. I believe the fix for this will actually be needed in Unity 2D itself, so I have updated the target package accordingly.
To the Unity 2D folks, If I can do anything to help, please let me know! Also, Bilal Ahktar is the implementer of this feature in Unity 3D, and I'm sure he would be happy to help out as needed as well. Thanks very much!

Only the icon in the launcher entry only displays a question mark, which I'm guessing means that it doesn't know which icon it should display. If I click the icon, the correct application opens. If I open the dash, and open the application from there, the application opens, and yet another entry gets added to the launcher for the running application, even though it was already pinned to the launcher. This suggests that the launcher doesn't recognise it as being the same application. Note that for the application instance I opened using the dash, the correct icon is displayed. Video of what happens: http://youtu.be/euGHLk2oxDE -- Sidenote: Also, note that when I clicked the install button in the software center, the policykit dialog didn't get focus. A bit annoying, but not a large concern. A bug nonetheless.
