It's not as though you could happily reside in God's good graces and He will pull an "Oopsies, you used icons. You actually don't believe." Context is everything and reality doesn't pull gotchas on believers. At least, unpleasant gotchas; we should expect good surprises along the way when we go with the flow of creation.
God might use technicalities in some situations but an honest willingness is weighed more heavily, to put it in crude terms. As you and Ed said, anything can be made into an idol, so focusing on an image (sorry for the pun) as misdirected worship is missing the point of what idolatry is, or how it could affect young believers.
