I guess you run Inkscape from the build tree without installing it.
Of course.
Regardless where you run Inkscape from, it looks for icons and other assets in the place it was installed. You need to install a daily build from after the change so that the icon files land in the appropriate places.
Pretty sure Inkscape's daily builds cannot be installed. (it's just a zip of the build dir, afaik).
Otherwise it won't work, just the way it wouldn't work if you built Inkscape and tried to run the built executable without having it installed in the regular location as well. I can put in some hacks to allow Inkscape to see the icons from the source tree, but this could make testing harder.
Inkscape never needed installing; let's keep it that way.
