That's... really weird. Maybe they did see your icon. It's possible.
For example, I edited this icon from another icon, titled it "Ominous Bloodvomit" after a song of the same title, and used it maybe once or twice. I keep finding it on Last.FM, and all over LiveJournal, including as the default icon of ominusbludvomit. I realize that's much less of a journey than your icon, but still... I think it's probably possible that someone stole your icon, and it ended up getting passed around the Internet, and was eventually seen by a Hot Topic designer.
