The icons are addressed as
 http://domain/filer/icon/[iconname]

The help refers to
 http://domain/filer/image/[iconname]

They point to the same graphic; the distinction is so that I can add user-defined icons in a future release.

The .../image/... paths are served by standard mainResponder code. The .../icon/... paths are served via /filerSuite.ObjectNotFoundHandler/, which is called from the /#objectNotFoundHandler/ script in the site's filer subtable.

I can think of only two reasons why the .../icon/... paths are not serving correctly. Either the /filerSuite.ObjectNotFoundHandler/ got corrupted somehow (very unlikely, especially as this seems to have affected multiple systems), or a recent update changed how mainResponder and/or Manila deal with not-found objects (i.e., has broken the ONFH mechanism).
