Ok, I traced this now a bit. The KIconLoaderPrivate::createIconImage processing seems already not to work for resource based themes on Linux. To try, e.g. use Kate, add the binary resource icon theme to the right location cp /local/cullmann/kde/usr/share/icons/breeze/breeze-icons.rcc ~/.local/share/kate/icontheme.rcc Switch in Kate to dark mode with Settings -> Color Theme -> Breeze Dark. Without the rcc file, this works. With the rcc file, the icons stay dark and are more or less invisible.
