Since this is a safety issue, allowing you to fly with less than the recommended wait period, I would definitely contact Mares about it.

I too just had the 12 hour no fly after a 44 min 26 foot deepest dive and a 26 min 55 foot deepest dive. I had a surface interval of hour and a half. I did notice this in the manual.
"The remaining desaturation time (DESAT TIME): this is calculated by the decompression model in the computer. Any dive started while there is remaining desaturation on your computer is considered a repetitive dive, meaning that Icon HD accounts for the pre-existing nitrogen load in your body.
- The no-fl y time (NO-FLY TIME): this is the time during which an exposure to the reduced pressure inside the cabin of an airplane could cause decompression sickness. Icon HD employs, as recommended by NOAA, DAN and other agencies, a standard 12-hour (nodeco non-repetitive dives) or 24-hour (deco and repetitive dives) countdown. Hence you may find a
situation in which the desaturation time is shorter than the no-fly time. This is simply the consequence of the desaturation
time being calculated by the algorithm based on the actual dive profile, while the no-fly time is an accepted standard in the diving industry. Since the real effect of flying after diving has never been fully investigated, this approach fits with our philosophy."
Perhaps the dive times, tissue loading and dive numbers contributed to it deciding you were effectively not a repetitive diver. IE it decided you were no longer saturated for your 2nd dive and treated it as another first dive hence only incurring the 12 hour no fly time.
Hi all, any idea how long the dongle battery last? (Approximate)

Another thing that happened to me a couple of times was that for no reason whatsoever the icon chnaged its date and the time for no apparent reason. This happened 2 times on the old icon and 2 times on the new icon net. The second time the old one changed time on me was between my morning and my afternoon dives. Desat info was thus useless. The new icon changed the time on me in the box after not being used a couple of weeks, but I noticed it after my dive was completed, when the date was off by 2 days. It's a small, yet annoying bug. I check my date/time before every dive now. Maybe the next SW can correct this.
The icon net ready changed date from Jan, 26. to Jan, 16. between first and second dive of that day without reason. Also time has changed and left tank pressure was shown as 0 bar in the log of first dive...
