Normally a firewall would drop pings.

Only if you configure them to.

And such a firewall is configured incorrectly.

However, some firewwalls are configured to "throttle" ICMP packets, as a safeguard to various DOS problems that pop up. In that case, it's hard to argue that they are configured "wrong"... By "hard to argue", I mean I can talk until I'm blue in the face, but the person responsible for the firewall is not going to change anything.
