I think this problem is pretty easy to reproduce. Do the devs / bug
marshalls all have wired connections? Maybe they're not seeing this bug
because of that. It just needs to be tested on a WiFi connection, whose
signal strength fluctuates a little bit and you'll basically get
something like this each time the signal strength icon "refreshes":

(nm-applet:1646): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_image_get_storage_type:
assertion `GTK_IS_IMAGE (image)' failed

(nm-applet:1646): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer
instance

(nm-applet:1646): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data:
assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

(nm-applet:1646): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_image_get_storage_type:
assertion `GTK_IS_IMAGE (image)' failed

(nm-applet:1646): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer
instance

(nm-applet:1646): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data:
assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

I say "refreshes" in quotes, because the icon doesn't actually refresh.
It shows full signal strength the whole time, and I know that is not
true. I also noticed a while back that the "radiating semi-circles" icon
no longer pulsates during the WiFi connect stage, like it used to. It's
just static, and then blam, you're connected.

These are all reasons why I think the code that updates the icon in the
panel is broken.
