Hi Stephen, The icons issue, as well as a related issue with modals not working, is a browser cache issue. Please see http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Version_2.5.0_FAQ for more details.
I can also report that SP Upgrade<http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/joomla-migration/15609>works flawlessly for importing 1.5 data into 1.7.3 (you can then do a one-click upgrade to 2.5.0). I've recently been migrating sites, and unfortunately have run into issues database with jupgrade. SP Upgrade<http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/joomla-migration/15609> is well worth the $33 or so.
