Thanks for that feedback. I'm not well versed in icons, so I'm going to back out of this thread.
Before I go...
Check folder options view
[ ] Always show icons, never thumbnails
[ ] Display file icon on thumbnails
Since you mention the icon db
navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA% and rename IconCache.db to IconCache_db.bak
restart your machine
I had a similar issue with Libraries. The album art was in the file but would not display in Explorer. The simple solution was to create a new folder and copy the music to the new folder. After that the album art displayed fine. Not a real solution because there were so many folders.
The thing about Windows is that when something like this goes awry, the crawl time to repair is very long. You could also try rebuilding the search index (Control Panel - Indexing options - Advanced - Rebuild). Why? It forces Windows to crawl faster.
These are off the top of my head ideas, another member will probably give you more straight forward advice on this issue.
Good luck, I look forward to reading the solution.
