Two causes, one is windows explorer, the other I have to check... (Bug reports)
Try something else: make a copy of the shortcut you want to imbue and move it over the desktop, then try applying the icon to that copy. I've successfully did that on Win8, but I've had Windows UAC completely disabled.
Keep in count that setting an icon to a shortcut located on the start menu folders may be impossible for icomancer if your security settings are too high, either by Windows UAC or your antivirus/antimalware/etc.
