...has steps saying how to fetch /favicon.ico when there are no <link rel=icon>s, but nothing says what to do when there are such links.

Presumably it uses https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#concept-link-obtain ?

Maybe but it's not super-clear to me. In any case, the resource type should be set to "image" to get the right Accept header, like for /favicon.ico.
