Anyone else having this problem and found a good solution?

We have a big component library. In some componentsĀ there is an icon included. The icon in embedded as a component in which you then can select the icon from a different Figma library where we have all our icons. In some (very few) design files the icon changes when inserting the component in the design file.Ā 
When inserting into the file the icon revert back to the placeholder icon:
Ā 

Icon changed when inserted into design file

When I copy the same component (that is wrong) and place it in another design file the icon looks correct:
Ā 

Icon revert back to the correct one when pasted in a different design file.

Does anyone else have this problem?
We have this now in 3 design files and it seems like the problem is growing...
