It looks like it identifies a "rejected" clip. When I select "Rejected' in the dropdown, all I see are the clips with that icon. If I select "Hide Rejected" they go away. The dumb thing on my part is completely overlooking the red line across the top of the clip image, which identifies it as "Rejected" DOH!

Looks like a Hidden Clip icon:

Good catch, Fox! I was wracking my brain trying to figure that one out. Yep, that's new to 11.0 for sure.

Rejected clips have a red bar.

Hidden clips have the eye icon you see.

Two different things, but both can be applied to the same clip.
