You are correct. They don't see the error but it still produces a Zope error.

This, on the other hand, does not product a Zope error, just is
logged as a 404. It is also useful in keeping search engines away
from certain areas of your site. The favicon.ico trick really has no
use, no functionality, no deeming qualities. M$ also did it in a
bitmap as opposed to a jpg/gif which makes it much bigger than it
should be. It also tells the server that a user has bookmarked your
site, which to some users might seem like yet another breach of
privacy.
