I have observed the same thing, but for only one channel icon (always 
the same one).  I even did a find on my machine to see where they were 
stored (besides ~/.mythtv/channels/) and removed them from the cache 
directories (/var/cache/mythweb/image_cache/, 
~/.mythtv/cache/themecache/Arclight.1920.1080/).  Still, that one 
channel icon does not work in mythweb, but works fine on the frontend.
