That seems perfectly reasonable to me. Ubuntu doesn't use images in most command buttons and menu items. But if we did, it would be routine to make button/menu text more specific in particular apps or situations while retaining the stock icon: "Log Out Anyway" rather than "Log Out", "Remove Photo" rather than just "Remove", "Date & Time Settings…" rather than just "Settings…", and so on. It's not changing the meaning of the icon, it's just being helpfully more specific.
