Not quite an easter egg but a feature that was not released with this version of ICS. Apparently it is something called "Dreams" that seems to be a screen saver. One of the screensavers is Rocket Launcher, basically icons of your apps flying towards you like Star Wars light speed. (See [Updated: Not An Easter Egg But A Screensaver!] Weird, Star Wars-Like Light Speed Launcher Found Hidden In The Depths Of Ice Cream Sandwich).

Quick and easy way to see this is to install https://market.android.com/details?id=uk.co.kuffs.ssl (easier than installing Launcher Pro then setting it up). Once it's launched, tap once to slow it down. And here is what I think is the amazing part, tap on an icon to open that app. When I do it, I only seem to get about 5 different apps that are used however.
