As in the picture below. I get that the dots underneath each icon are to indicate that the app is running. But what do the lines mean? Is this, as I'm inclined to think, a bug in OS X? Or do they actually have meaning?
Every once in a while, usually one of these pops up and stays there forever until I reboot...

It is a download indicator. If the download failed, you can most likely remove the offending file from the Download folder.

It means that something is downloading, but if it fails it shouldn't be there. Try to move the icon to another place. Or remove it from dock then add it back.

It's a bug in OS X, you can use killall Dock command to restart the Dock:
killall Dock

I can surely say that it's NOT a bug. OP hasn't mentioned which OSX it is but quite sure it is Yosemite and i am using that. – pun – 2015-10-06T15:59:38.607
I'm on Yosemite too, and see this bug on both laptop and desktop.
(also take a look to the question tags: osx-yosemite is there) – Michael Ananin – 2015-10-07T19:13:29.520
There is no mention of this being a bug. If you have strong enough proof that this is a bug, post it in your answer. Few users having a same issue does not make it a bug. Have around 5k users using Yosemite in my office & nobody has mentioned this ever – pun – 2015-10-07T21:28:53.133
1Really? How do I find out from which download? – verhage – 2015-02-20T19:51:21.140
1If you go into the Download folder, you should see another file with the progress bar superimposed over the icon. – Jon Weinraub – 2015-02-20T23:44:47.447
