Why does my apps icon disappear after an ad hoc install (iPhone)

iphone ios4 adhoc

I have an app that I'm trying to install via standard OTA ad hoc. On iOS 4.1 The app installs ok. On newer versions (4.3.1 and 4.3.3 tested) the app installs without error, but the icon disappears from Springboard when the install is done. If I restart the device the icon is back.

I have two questions:

  • Does anyone know what causes this behaviour?
  • Is this a problem when it comes to App Store submission?

Edit: It's the whole icon that disappears, not just the graphics. It is not possible to start the app from Springboard.
