I don't think it's got anything to do with facelift.
This is something that I solved.... but unfortunately I did the mod - then tried to come back and document it later.... so I may have missed a step in editpost.php to make the icon thing work right.
Give me some time to look at it and I'll get it settiled. I have this working on several boards.... but just may have messed up the instructions.
I go on vacation Wednesday though - and I'm really hussling to get everything done that I need to before I leave. So I'll try .... but it may not happen until I get back.
