I got a number of informative responses. One suggestion was to make
sure that Large File System was not checked in Preferences -
apparently this causes the Workspace to not spend the time to look
through the passwd information in a large file system. This however
was not my problem. What happened in my case is that somehow my home
directory got changed to belong to root. I still had read write
privileges, so I didn't notice. However, upon changing ownership back
to myself the home directory icon appeared just like it was supposed
to.

The icons are stored in the Workspace app itself, by the way, so
that's very unlikely to be the problem.

Thanks to all who replied!
