to be honest I don't get the functioning from your description and was 
too lazy to have a look at any code. but my idea of solving this problem 
would be:
have a little DIV with the icon-pic of the record as CSS-background and 
insert a (partly) transparent (gif/png) as the modifier-icon into this 
DIV.

this would solve these points:
+ no pic calculation (at displaying) at all
+ no conditions about existence of any pic (assuming that the default 
questionmark is generated at least at installation)
+ less HD-space as there is only a minimum need of pics (one background-
icon for each record and all modifiers once)
+ easy change of skin, as each skin can define/ include their own 
modifiers
+ propably faster as these icons and modifier-icons can be cached easier 
by a browser than lots of icon-pics. (at least not much slower)
