I believe this is a bug that has been fixed in Tiger.

Yes, you are right about what I meant. I mean that UIEI highlights a
different icon than I expect it to highlight. When I lock onto one
icon using UIEI, and then use my mouse and select a different icon
AFTER locking UIEI down, then hit Refresh on UIEI, a third icon is
highlighted instead of the first one I locked onto and instead of the
second one I selected with my mouse. Now this behavior is not
completely consistent, but if you lock onto one and select enough
other ones, you will notice this problem (as you said you had).
What I am saying is that I don't believe this is a bug in UIEI's
highlighting. In some throwaway code I did before the post, I would
have a AXUIElementRef on the one icon, and do an NSLog() of its
position and size. I would then use the mouse to select a different
icon in that window and redid the NSLog() and the rect
changed....basically Finder is giving me a AXUIElementRef and then
changing which one that points to based on which one is selected with
the mouse (and it's not even the one that you selected; it's a weird
cyclical pattern). Perhaps both UIEI and I are performing the same
wrong code, but we both experience this weird shifting of a UIElement
reference.
And I just downloaded your demo of UI Browser (UIB) and I can also
recreate the issue with it. Simply navigate to a Finder window that's
in Icon Mode, and use UIB to drill through to one of the items and
open the Actions Drawer for that Finder Item. Then use your mouse and
select one of the other icons in that window. Then without
re-drilling in UIB, perform the AXOpenAction in UIB....you will see
that it actually opens a different one! The reference that you were
given by Finder has been changed by Finder to point to a different
Finder Item! Am I going crazy or is this just happening on my machine?
