This is just a shot in the dark especially as I don't know exactly what

Do not forget that all of the major built-in apps were replaced along
about OS5 - Address Book became Contacts, ToDo became Tasks, Memos -
while retaining the basic application name - has a new database format,
and Date Book became Calendar.
If your app which works under OS5 is presumably reading icons from these
"new" applications, it will need to read from the older applications
when run on a pre-OS5 device.
I'm not certain, by the way, about the exact changeover point. Was it
5.0, 5.1, 4.x? Did all the applications change at the same time, or was
the change spread out over a few OS releases? As I said, I am not
certain and do not have the time or inclination to do the research.
The PalmSource core OS distribution still includes the old PIM apps.
However, Palm has replaced those with enhanced versions that have much
different code and different creator IDs. There's a small
compatibility layer that lets you do some work with the old databases
used by the original apps, but depending on implementation details of
those old apps is a route to failure.
