As I get deeper into the "multiple icon boxes patch" that I have been
working on, I see that it doesn't really affect the change you
proposed. Besides you mentioned the icon used by FvwmIconBox, not the
built-in IconBox.

I don't see why fvwm2 couldn't change the icon associated with a
window when it is notified of the changes in the class information. I
would assume that FvwmIconBox is or could be notified of the icon
change.
