Well, I tried installing a few themes and I haven't been able to
reproduce this bug.
I installed the icon themes
Amora-0.4.1.tar.gz
SnowIsh-1.0.tar.gz (SVG)
SnowIsh-1.0_PNG.tar.bz
and the Gtk+ meta-theme
SnowIsh-Theme.tar.gz
I didn't want to attach the SnowIsh icon archives because of their sizes
(6 MB and 9 MB), but they are found easily on the web.

It seems weird to me that the bug is caused by files that are in the particular
folder "$HOME/Theme/Icons"
I suppose you created this folder to keep your downloaded themes organized.
But I also suppose that you know that themes are "installed" either manually or
automatically (through the "Appearance Preferences" interface in System >
Preference > Appearance > Install) by extracting the compressed archive in the
"$HOME/.icons" and "$HOME/.themes" directories, for icons and themes
respectively.
That is, the "$HOME/Theme/Icons" folder should have no effect, it
shouldn't be searched. Maybe it is searched by something else? An
indexing service perhaps (trackerd)? A nautilus script? I don't know.
What I may suggest is to list the contents of "$HOME/.icons" and
"$HOME/.themes" just to know what other themes there are. Maybe one of these
other themes is causing the problem. Then you may backup these directories and
delete them.
tar cvzf Themes-Backup.tar.gz $HOME/.icons $HOME/.themes
rm -rf $HOME/.icons/* $HOME/.themes/*
Then, without unpacking the tarballs, install the themes through the
interface as mentioned above.
1. If all goes well, you can now use the themes, and you don't have to worry
about unpacking anything in "$HOME/Theme/Icons"
2. Even if everything went well, you may unpack the archives in that folder and
try to reproduce the bug. Then you can "play" with it and see if you can
pinpoint the problem. Delete *.png files, leave the *.svg, etc.
3. You should get other people to reproduce this bug. Otherwise it can't be
confirmed, and can't be called a real "bug". Maybe it is something very
specific to your current setup.
4. I suggest you try this on the newer Ubuntu 9.04.
Chances are that this is magically solved by upgrading or by something
silly like removing the "$HOME/.icons" folder and reinstalling the
themes.
