Here is a workaround:

You need to simply make extra copies of the icon file (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/general_application_call.png) for each of your duplicate shortcuts and refer to them in the respective .desktop file.

Code:
cd /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/
cp general_application_call.png general_application_call1.png
cp general_application_call.png general_application_call2.png
cp general_application_call.png general_application_call3.png
Then edit the .desktop file and change the 'Icon' field.

Shortcut 1: /usr/share/applications/hildon/rtcom-call-ui1.desktop
Icon=general_application_call1

Shortcut 2: /usr/share/applications/hildon/rtcom-call-ui2.desktop
Icon=general_application_call2

Shortcut 2: /usr/share/applications/hildon/rtcom-call-ui3.desktop
Icon=general_application_call3

You should now have the Phone icon appear correctly. However, you will need to remove the NoDisplay=true from the desktop files in order for the shortcut to launch the Phone app correctly. I put my shortcuts in a folder of their own.

HTH
