That's poor use of icons. It really should display an unchecked box icon if not subscribed. You can change that via CSS easily enough (just set a different content declaration for the icon) but if you want it to react to user choices (ie: show a different icon when subscribed) that would require editing the template. Which is not that difficult, if you really want to.
ETA: Hang on a sec. It is supposed to do just that, but it doesn't seem to be working. I just checked it in a topic I am not watching (and that I had never looked at before) and the icon is already checked. You may have found a bug in phpBB.
The template logic is here:Somehow that is not doing what it ought to be doing.
