No, I think you are misunderstanding that attributes are not
substituted in command line attribute definitions and attributes are
not recursively substituted. So when iconsdir is substituted the
literal text '{asciidoc-confdir}/{iconsdir}' is substituted which
shows up as unsubstituted attributes which gets the line dropped.
You are just going to have to type the path.
