100% agreed.  Although I don't even necessarily think that having an 
icon there is necessary at all; I'd take all those stock icons out of 
the standard buttons were it up to me.  With proper localization, 
having the icons there don't add much.

But I don't feel that strongly about it, so assuming that others feel 
strongly that the icons should remain, I'd agree that the "Close" 
button in this context should include a "Yes" icon or something 
similar-looking rather than something that could be confused with the 
"Cancel" icon.
