(Get the code!)
TL;DR :
Pantheon-files tries to open icon folders and display the icons in their native size (16, 24, 48, 64, etc), but when it leaves the folder, the size persists for all icons.
This seems to be an attempted feature because it only happens in /usr/share/icons and ~/.icons. Also, the folder must be a number (52, 48, 101, it doesn't haver to be the exact size) and the icons inside must be square.
If this is a feature mal-implemented, we can axe the feature and avoid this bug and the only negative is that icons are blurry if they don't match pantheon-files's icon size.
***If we want this feature, it should really be implemented a different way. In its current incarnation, it depends on locations of icons and the containing folders to identify the icon size. This is an indirect and inefficient way of identifying the icon size. If pantheon can simply recognize what size a square image is, then we can make an exception for that situation. I think Nautilus accomplishes the task this way, so we could look to their code for an idea on how to implement it.
