are wrong.

Additional Information:
Image attached to see differences.

I just found an easy fix. The .ico needs to feature multiple resolutions of the icon. Just running the existing .png through http://convertico.com/ and recompiling did the job.
Will send a PR with the new icon. EDIT: Done. See pull request #21.

Well. I was also looking into this issue and I can confirm that adding more icon sizes fixes it. (In detail: when pinning an application, Windows switches from using the window icon to using the icon in the executable; and apparently their icon downscaling isn't that good.)
