It is the default application icon that appears in the dock. When I hover the 
mouse over it, the name is that of my LaunchAgent.

The LaunchAgent is its own application bundle. From reading of the 
documentation this seemed to be a recommended approach. Though my LaunchAgent 
uses xpc for communicating it is not an xpc service for a specific application 
so it shouldn't be a bundle with an extension of xpc and be required to live 
inside the application bundle.
