it is actually really easy to reproduce:

1. Delete "Saved Messages"
2. set an avatar if you don't have one already
3. start a new chat with yourself so "saved messages" is recreated
4. now it has your avatar

2. set an avatar if you don't have one already

for me, that @adbenitez's step is not quite correct:

the bug happens for me only when i really set an avatar in step 2. - without, on further tries, the saved-messages-icon is displayed correctly

@iequidoo i cannot make full sense of it - but may it be related to an sync item somehow? after setting an avatar, there is an sync item containing the self-avatar, which is then used instead of the saved-messages-icon.

without setting an avatar, deletion and recreation of the saved-messages-chat always uses the correct saved-messages-icon - as there is no sync item

back to the initial issue - might be that a sync item is created even for unconfigured accounts (really?) - and then we might have a similar situation

i am not deep into these sync ongoings, though

@r10s, yes, it's caused by sync messages, i disabled them via environment and it stopped to reproduce.
