Another day another perplexing SharePoint issue.
After performing a content DB move for a client, there were intermittent reports of a blank icon next to them, no matter what the type of file. (Excel, PDF, Word, etc).
I would investigate, perform an iis reset and voila they'd be back, however the next day, gone.
After digging around a bit I found this post on Eggheadcafe:

After looking into this further, sure enough the DOCICON.XML file, located at Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML, did not have the proper rights for authenticated users - actually no rights at all. So I added the proper file rights in and icons came back and stayed back.
NOTE- During my research, I also came across a posting that suggested it was a port renaming issue, but did not find anything further on how to solve.
