Icon not showing on Gnome 3.8

[cachapa]

I just tried this on my setup, and it's working fine save for the fact that no icon appears on the tray button.

This is on Gnome 3.8 on Debian unstable.

I've taken a screenshot. In it you can see the area correctly highlighted, and pressing it shows the menu. There's just an icon missing there :-)

I am bringing across the report from the closed report,

I installed btsync on Debian-wheezy,
run btsync start with verbose on,
No icon appears, but the core program is running.

This is the only message I could find:
$ BitTorrent Sync forked to background. pid = 17941
/usr/lib/btsync-user/btsyncindicator.py:106: Warning: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.33.12+really2.32.4/./gobject/gsignal.c:2459: signal child-added' is invalid for instance0x179b010'
self.ind.set_menu(self.menu)

EDIT: I guessed the port number and loaded the webpage.
I added a folder to sync, and THEN the icon appeared.
However, it has no colour, only a shadow, so its hard to see.

EDIT 2: I then tried out the icon.
I opened the web interface (that worked),
then I paused it (that worked)
then I resumed it -- now the icon has vanished again, with this message on the command line:

WARNING:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Retrying (0 attempts remain) after connection broken by 'BadStatusLine("''",)': /gui/?action=getsyncfolders&token=RNhHUjTy6GnbIzDOi4kK2kJP1yhsiMF3NmC4cLHLOqfoM0B4WWXOuGYEhFIAAAAA
WARNING:root:Status request failed, attempting to re-initialise session

EDIT 3: and then after about 30-60 seconds, the icon appeared again.

EDIT 4: the only way i can get the icon to appear, is to use the command line to run btsync pause,
and then i right click and unpause it, while right clicking on it as often as possible until just before the icon disappears, and THEN i can click the web-icon.
I wonder, does "Pause" actually mean "close the program entirely" ?

Screenshot of the icon during sync:

It simply doesn't appear at all (no space is allocated for it) while its not syncing.
