The issue has been rapported to Debian on e.g https://bugs.debian.org
/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625203

The Debian gnome-pkg team looked at it and wrote that comment

"postrm (of the old package) removes the loaders.cache file unconditionally and
postinst (of the new package) creates it again.
That means, during upgrades there is a timeframe where loaders.cache does not 
exist.

When gtk-update-icon-cache is triggered via a file system trigger, it is
possible that it is run while loaders.cache is not present.

I talked to Joss on IRC.
He suggested to on remove the loaders.cache file in postrm only on remove|purge.
Otherwise gtk-update-icon-caches could be non-functional (this needs
verification though)

As we can't fix the postrm of the old package though, we should consider doing a
stable update via a point release.

We also need to make sure, to move/remove the loaders.cache for the multiarch
transition explicitly, as this will be no longer done as side-effect of postrm."
