This was happening before install of the successive local package that adds the Server subpalette and the blank icon has persisted across many uninstall/reinstall/upgrades on my local system.

Thanks for reporting this @negentropicdev.

I'm able to reproduce the issue.

It appears that when the MNU files get built, this one doesn't have an icon for some odd reason.  I've confirmed that VIPM is trying to create the MNU file correctly with the Palette API, however when the MNU file gets created, it's missing its icon.

I was able to work around this by re-creating the icon from the Requests subpalette. I opened a PR with the work-around:
illuminated-g/lv-http-util#1

It could be that the colors are messed up somehow in the icon data -- I've seen LabVIEW have problems creating palettes from icons created in the Icon editor.
