I like having a specific xterm icon in the taskbar to make it clear which X application is actually running. I was just surprised to see a different icon, and I was curious what had changed to make it appear.

Looking at that, I'd say not more than 10% (and wasn't inspired by it - I don't pay much attention to organized sports).

For Xwin Server, I assume that the icon is shown because that's the window which keeps the server from exiting. Though I investigated several cases, I didn't consider this particular one. xterm now specifies an icon because several of the cases I found didn't provide any icon at all - a favor from the desktop packagers, it seems. I did consider providing a special resource value that would suppress the xterm-specific icon (such as "none" or "default"), but decided to see what type of feedback I'd get first.

XTerm icon updated? Re: Updated: xterm-283-1
Did this update change the XTerm icon that is displayed in the Windows task bar? Previously, when I launched the XWin Server, I would see the x.org logo (a black X with an orange ring) in the task bar as the icon for the XTerm window. Today, I see the XTerm icon for the XTerm window: a red X with a blue T superimposed over it.
