Koreader update replaced icons with splotches

The lastest update (downloaded OTA) replaced icons in the menus with splotches. This happened on the Forma and the Libra

Pic (I hope):

I installed again, this time copying files over on my computer using the stand-alone install zip (OCP-KOReader-v2023.01). This time it is okay.

However I note that I didn't use KoboRoot.tgz to prevent the standard interface from listing all the image files, because I was worried that might be the cause of the icons being replaced with splotches.

In fact anyway, it seemed to fail to prevent the listing of image files after the update anyway. I still have quite a few image files in the explorer of the standard interface.

That means the files went missing/corrupt, which might be worrisome if that happened OTA and said OTA didn't actually fail.

(i.e., this behavior is usually mostly experienced on a fresh install when you forget to prevent Nickel from indexing the addons directory, you fix it after the fact, which causes it to delete the icons ;o)).
