I believe this is because the emblem-default-symbolic icon is no longer
present in the Adwaita icon theme. A workaround is to install the
adwaita-icon-theme-legacy package.

The question is: Instead of "emblem-default-symbolic", what other
generic icon name would be better to represent the default item?
The GTK 4 port of gnome-terminal briefly used "object-select-symbolic"
for this purpose, which seems like it could be a reasonable workaround
for the upcoming Debian 13 stable release - I actually meant to do that
in 3.56.2-1, but I'm juggling updates to too many GNOME packages and I
forgot.
(The GTK 4 port of gnome-terminal now uses a Unicode check-mark instead
of an icon, which is probably too intrusive a change for Debian 13.)
Or perhaps starred-symbolic or checkbox-checked-symbolic could be a good
substitute? (The more I think about it, the more I like starred-symbolic
for this purpose, actually.)
Or gnome-terminal could provide its own icon resource via the GResource
mechanism.
