This is surprising. NSAlert is supposed to pick the right icon. From the docs:

By default, the image used in an alert is the app icon.

Yeah, that's exactly why I didn't set it explicitly. Sounds like it might be worth doing that though to see if that helps, although it doesn't seem to high a priority.
