This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 13.10-0ubuntu7

---------------
software-center (13.10-0ubuntu7) wily; urgency=medium

  * softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/models/appstore2.py:
    - GtkIcon has_icon doesn't work in standard directories, use lookup_icon
      instead, should fix invalid icons being displayed in the packages list
      (lp: #1464722)
  * data/ui/gtk3/submit_review.ui:
    - don't use the gtkbox n_row property, it's deprecated in the newer gtk
      version, which leads to runtime errors and a non working reviews dialog

Hello Marc, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into vivid-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/13.10-0ubuntu6.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

I installed the proposed version on Ubuntu 15.04 in a virtual machine. I can verify that the application icons on the start screen of the software centre, do appear. But, when you click on an application, the default package icon is still shown on the detailed page of the app.

I am not sure if this is intentional, but it feels like that the normal app icons should also be shown on this page.
