I agree, that could be at it's heart. So now the question is how to make
E recognize my icon theme. Is there some file in which the available
themes are listed? Or according to which kind of black magic is that
determined?
Just as a try I tried to additionally install the
gnome-brave-icon-theme, but after a restart of E still nothing shows up.
So I guess I am missing a mechanism that E is relying on to compile its
list of themes. But which?

OK, trying to dig a bit into this it seems (at least for the two cases I
tested) that a full path actually works. Just I don't feel like changing
all my .desktop files by hand...
