Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

```

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a WSL window, wait for the remote window to be fully set up
1. Open Chat, from the view menu select `Show chat debug view`
1. Verify whether the chat debug view has an icon or not

The chat debug view icon is not displayed (the same problem also apply to some extensions).

In DevTools, I see some icon-related requests showing `(failed)net::ERR_FAILED`, for example:
```
vscode-remote-resource://127.0.0.1:50364/insider-046944034292b5479b4e9a50ad1a508033ffb64f/vscode-remote-resource?path=.vscode-server-insiders%2Fbin%2F046944034292b5479b4e9a50ad1a508033ffb64f%2Fextensions%2Fcopilot%2Fassets%2Fdebug-icon.svg&tkn= net::ERR_FAILED
```
