Created new folder on desktop, pulled 10 unrelated icons out of their fence, renamed them all to the folder name, changed icons

One of those annoying bugs that pops up once a month or so with Fences. This time a simple restart didn't return things to normal.

I have a dual monitor setup, with fences only set up on one monitor. I also use Fence's 'desktop pages' feature. 

 

Today, I attempted to create a folder on my desktop (right clicking, "create new - folder", etc). When I entered a name for the folder, about 10 icons all from the same fence (which was on a different 'desktop page' than the one I was working on) appear on my screen, out of their fence, ALL renamed to the folder name ('folder name (1)', 'folder name (2)', etc).

 

What's more, a few of those icons had their icon images changed, a couple to icons of globes, another to just a white sheet of paper. This is especially strange, because when I right click on the icon and select 'properties' and 'change icon', the original icon is displayed, but on the desktop they continue to show with the changed icons.

 

Is there a way to recover my icon images? And perhaps something I can do to prevent random things from changing when I make additions/changes to my desktop?
