Why multiple icons?
As an indicator to the user about whether or not they are logged in.
I still don't get why a single bug isn't enough. As I understand the system you are talking about:
I hit a webpage meme.com with an image/link to http://centralID/meme.com'sID/sessionID. If I already have a cookie to centralID, the icon shows I am logged in. If not, by clicking the link I am taken to a page at centralID where I do the OpenID handshake, successfully getting me a centralID cookie. This cookie expires frequently.
Why do I need multiple icons?
Because if the icon is always the same then you won't know whether or not you need to click on it.
