I confirm that. I tried with a .ico file, and my icon was a black 
square. Use a .gif or .jpeg file, and it works a treat.

I noticed that the file need not be 32x32, any size image will do, and
gets reduced to the correct size when being displayed.

I seem to remember that the documentation for getImage says it can 
only do gif and jpeg files.
