OK, i've identified the problem:
* IE's developer tools show that your document is being rendered in "quirks mode"
* in quirks mode, canvas is disabled
* when canvas is unavailable, the (new) map extension reverts to using the painter service
* you are using relative urls in your icon keys
* the map extension is passing that relative url to the painter service which does not understand it
Two short term fixes, either will work:
* validate your html so that IE renders in standards mode. I checked and if you force standards mode so canvas is used, then the icons gets rendered
* use absolute urls in your icon keys
Longer term I will fix the code to derelativize the icons urls.

Aha!  It's Internet Exploder 8 that's not displaying the icons on the

David, you mentioned that you see icons on the map but not the legend?
I have been able to see the Legend without issue.

thanks for the css tip to hide the color legend

You can hide the color legend by styling the class exhibit-color-legend
to display:none
