Unable to show .desktop Icon when it has a period (.) in its referenced name

Hi, I've noticed several .desktop files not showing the correct icon when the desktop file references 'Icon=foo' and 'foo' is a string value containing a period (.) or several of those. This works as expected in Nautilus (which I don't use but installed to double-check this issue).
Realizing the wording here might not convey the issue very clearly, let me give an example. The gnome-mpv desktop file has the following content:
https://github.com/gnome-mpv/gnome-mpv/blob/master/data/io.github.GnomeMpv.desktop.in

Exec=gnome-mpv --new-windowNote the 'Icon=io.github.GnomeMpv' stanza. Thunar does not show this icon by default.
In fact, several GNOME apps desktop files use a similar naming pattern, which, as far as I can determine, is a valid naming scheme according to https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/.
