As I wrote in duplicate bug 1285726, VPN can be used with any physical
layer, not just a wired connection. And I don't think it's practical to
design icons, for every physical layer, that have a disposable corner
just in case a padlock appears in that corner. And even if it was
practical, whether you are connected to a VPN or not will often be too
important for such a tiny emblem.
For those two reasons, I think it would be better for VPN to be shown
with a completely separate icon. On PC at least, a separate icon implies
a separate menu, but that's reasonable too -- VPN software on Windows
and Mac often does that anyway.
