Cannot create new marker icon based on DEFAULT_ICON

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in Release:
0.290, 1.0 RC

Detailed description:
When trying to create a new marker icon based on DEFAULT_ICON, many of the 
default definitions are lost. For 
example, the icon size is no longer set to 32x32, and if setting the size 
manually, the icon and shadow no 
longer start from the same origin.

Code: 

final MapWidget map = new MapWidget();
map.setPixelSize(400, 400);
RootPanel.get().add(map);

map.addMapClickHandler(new MapClickHandler() {
    public void onClick(MapClickEvent event) {
        if (event.getOverlay() != null) {
            return;
        }
        Icon icon = Icon.newInstance(Icon.DEFAULT_ICON);
        icon.setImageURL("http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/micons/yellow.png");
        MarkerOptions options = MarkerOptions.newInstance(icon);
        final Marker m = new Marker(event.getLatLng(), options);
        map.addOverlay(m);
    }
});

Workaround if you have one:
Using MapIconMaker from the gmaps-utility-library

I figured out what the problem is.
The default icon is 20x34, while the other icons (such as the one in the example
above) are 32x32.

It would be nice to provide the users with consistent icon sizes, but anyway - 
this
is not a bug.
