The problem is that HistoryItem retains icons for the page URL on construction and releases then on destruction. This happens in the Webrocess so a message is sent to the UI process. When history items are deleted, is usually because the WebProcess finishes and quite often the UI process has already finished or has exited the main loop, so the message never gets to the UI process and all icons are always retained.
