iPhone OS 3.0 Beta: What happened to the icon?

I’m pretty sure it’s one of the bugs in the iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5. For some reasons, the Calculator icon is permanently replaced with Yahoo! App icon.

I tried uninstalling Yahoo! App and restarting the iPhone but it remained. It’s not a showstopper, but it just a little bit bothering me. So I restored my iPhone Software.
