I tried clearing cache, history, all the Safari things I could find. I tried adding more "apple-touch-icon" resolutions. Every "is your favicon good?" site I could find said it was fine. It works just fine on my iPad (and every other non Apple device I have). It works on my SO's iPhone running the same version of iOS, and same screen size. The iPhone shows the favicon when I go to tab-switch mode. It shows the correct image if I create a link on my Home Screen. It will not show the favicon on my favorites page.
And yeah, given how quickly the bug was closed that I opened, I'm guessing Apple decided I'm full of it too.
At some point, it's not worth it any more.
I keep the link around on my iPhone for when I get bored and try to debug it from time to time, but really I'm mostly curious if iOS will ever decide to do the right thing.
Safari has extremely aggressive favicon cache. I've seen it happen multiple times on large production websites that the favicon doesn't update for months.
