Binary package hint: unity
The fifth time I start a pinned launcher within a session, it only blinks but doesn't start the application. The quicklist then shows it as not being pinned, and trying to pin it again fails. Manually starting the program creates a new launcher icon (see screenshot).
It also appears that the "dead" launchers then start to start different programs or focus running applications instead.
Maybe this is somehow related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-gtk/+bug/628983 (same weirdness-factor at least).

That's because you have the unity trial and pay 200 000$ to upgrade…
Oh wait! no, that's a bug :)
More seriously, confirmed, thanks for catching it :)
