Comment:

 The bug is still here even after the patch, but is a little different.

 4XOs: W01,W02,W03,W05 were connected to ch11, and 02,03,05 left.
 After some time they showed as "Failed to resolve" in avahi-browse.
 Only W02 was returned to ch11. Then W03,W05 almost instantly vanished from
 the screen.

 You might this helpful:

 08:03  W02,W03,W05 moved to other channel(i think W05 was moved a little
 later)

 08:25  by that time all gradually were reported as "Failed" by avahi-
 browse

 08:26  I moved W02 back to channel 11

 08:27  avahi-browse crashed(it was running continuously with a script) +
 avahi cache cleared + icons vanished from the screen

 all W01 logs on the tarball
 avahi-browse in avahi.W01.5501(clean timestamped output)
 dbus-monitor output in dbusW01.5501
 also a couple of timestamped screen shots to show that the icons vanished
 exactly at 08:27.
