I think this may be in some way related to compiz. I had the same exact thing happen to me - sound icon was being duplicated in place of the networkmanager icon. I'm using the nvidia 173 driver as the 185 package failed to work for me.

I thought removing the icon then replacing it might do the trick, but when I removed the icon, gnome-panel got caught it some loop and just kept restarting itself every second over and over. Restarting GDM/X/GNOME did not help. I then removed compiz and not only did the loop problem go away, but so did the duplicate icon issue.

I'm not 100% sure of the correlation as I don't know where the gnome-panel logs are stored to even check what the error was, but adding it just in case the compiz guys might have an idea of what is going on.
