wt.exe from command line with named console binary picks the wrong tab icon and wrong tab title

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.450]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.2.2381.0

Steps to reproduce

start Windows terminal from console or Run... with a chosen named .exe that produces console output.

eg. win+R wt thiscommandisjustanexample enter

(picking a binary that actually does exist is not making a difference for this bug)

Expected behavior

• Tab gets it's title from the binary's name

• Tab gets it's icon from the called binary / tab gets a generic console-binary icon, since the binary does not contain one

Actual behavior

The tab inherits several pieces of behaviour from the default profile.

This includes,

• the icon that is defined for defaultProfile in settings.json
• the tabTitle that is defined for defaultProfile in settings.json
• the default profile's backgroundImage with it's settings for backgroundImageStretchMode and backgroundImageAlignment applied as defined in settings.json

Reflection

You are just applying the default profile to anything unknown that runs, don't you?

Awesome. In that case, I guess, Windows Terminal requires a hidden default profile that is invoked if nothing else applies. Instead of just picking the one that is opened as default on start.

Start by reproducing the issue with wt.exe and a named console binary, using the Windows Terminal version and command shown in the report. Inspect how the invoked binary is matched against profiles and how settings.json supplies the default profile's icon, tabTitle, and background settings. Done means the launched tab uses the binary name and appropriate icon instead of inheriting those values from defaultProfile.
