Can confirm

Flatpak's icon resolution algorithm is quite different from what we normally use, so there's a specific function in flatpak-kcm code which performs a best-effort search, and as seen in this bug report it is far from ideal.

There is a one open MR to provide at least sensible fallback icon, but it got stuck on the lack of an appropriate icon. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/flatpak-kcm/-/merge_requests/61
