Actually, nmap listens to ICMP during UDP scans primarily for ICMP unreachable messages. In theory, if you reach the system with a UDP packet, but the port the packet is addressed to is not listening, the system should discard the UDP packet and send an ICMP unreachable to the sender. The app can't see these messages, but an alert system administrator will notice them (remember we're talking theory here).
