I believe this bug is related to the bug I posted earlier today, whether or not this report is a duplicate i don't know (i'm guilty of posting duplicates sometimes myself >_>)

This could be the same glitch you are experiencing (This report has source code, screenshots, detailed info, etc)
The extra map space alotted to show big icons while you're moving around is limited to 3 extra tiles. This is a compromise in that there is usually no reason an icon of that size should normally be on the map, but icons bigger than one tile are still to be expected. Mostly people only use icons that big for title screens.
