Thanks for looking into this Michael. What happened was the following:

1. The 'postman' package was uploaded to extras
2. Afterwards we noticed its name conflicted with the existing 'postman'
package in the main archive
3. The extras 'postman' package was removed
4. The new extras 'postman-image-uploader' was uploaded
5. I contacted Anthony to fix the data in myapps
6. A webops fixed the data
7. I double-checked that the precise and quantal 'postman' packages were
no longer in myapps

However, it seems that the Precise entry is back:

https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/postman/

 You can see this in the exported data from sca

Thanks! We'll wait for Anthony to fix the data in the admin UI, as it is
not possible to re-review already published apps, as far as I can tell.

However, I'm not too sure this bug is invalid, as I can see several
other entries without icon right now:

https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/cuckoo/

Title:
  Extras apps do not use the provided icon

Status in Ubuntu web catalog:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This is a follow-up from bug 1010655, as one of the issues pointed out
  there is still not fixed.

  For apps published in extras.ubuntu.com, the icon provided by the
  developer seems not to be used, which causes Software Center to use a
  generic icon for the app upon installation.

  Here's an example of a recent upload (see the generic icon used instead of the 64px one provided [1]):
  https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/postman-image-uploader/
