This has been introduced by the recent switch from using .dekstop files
to using u-a-l to get information about items. The old code would remove
an app if the .desktop file goes away. I suspect u-a-l keeps information
about the app around for while which makes the code think it is still
installed.

Bug description:
I'm not sure if this is reproducible but this is what I did:
1. Enter Ubuntu One account details through system settings -> online
accounts.
2. Open the app store from the main app scope.
3. Install Popey's Youtube app and then "open" it from the app store page.
4. Play around in Youtube app for a bit.
5. Go to the main app scope and long press the Youtube icon to open the store
page.
6. Uninstall the app.
7. Search the store for another Youtube app and install it. (This time I
installed the top rated one.)
8. Again, open it by pressing "open" on the store page.
9. Swipe the left edge to open the app switcher.
At this point I have two Youtube icons on the switcher. One
corresponds to the first youtube app, now uninstalled. If I press it,
I see a low resolution screenshot of that app. I can't interact with
it though, and if I tap the screen it flickers between the screenshot
and another app.
Next I plugged in a keyboard and mouse, activating desktop mode. The
ghost youtube app now brings up a black window with "youtube" in the
middle in white text. The close button on the window has no effect.
