Long explanation: the standard icon name spec from freedesktop.org[1]
provides a fallback algorithm (implemented in GTK+[2]) to pickup the
proper icon, as following

<quote>
The dash “-” character is used to separate levels of specificity in icon names, 
for all contexts other than MimeTypes. For instance, we use “input-mouse” as 
the generic item for all mouse devices, and we use “input-mouse-usb” for a USB 
mouse device. However, if the more specific item does not exist in the current 
theme, and does exist in a parent theme, the generic icon from the current 
theme is preferred, in order to keep consistent style.

Humanity theme provides "camera" icon (a link, generate by icon-naming-
utils?), so when you search for "camera-web" or "camera-video" GTK+ will
fall back to "camera" icon, ignoring the existing icons in "GNOME" icon
theme.

PS this bug could be a good canditate for paper cut
