Hi Chris,
I did some more testing and I now know what is happening:

For what it is worth.
I just used Package Maker (from 10.4) to make a package containing
folders with custom icons.
If I select "Preserve Resource Forks" in the "Contents" section of
creating a package then the icons are preserved.
If I do not, then they are not.
Yes this works for me too (I used PackageMaker unter Mac OS X 10.3.9).
I rechecked all the different .pkg files to see why the original one my
friend built did set the custom icon flag on my system and my Iceberg
built test.pkg files didn't. The difference is the presence of a
._<foldername> file for the folder with the custom icon.
So I now have the following three cases:
1. A PackageMaker created package which includes the ._xxx file: Works
correctly on 10.3.9 and 10.4.1;
2. An Iceberg created package without the ._xxx file: doesn't work
anywhere;
3. An Iceberg created package which includes the ._xxx file: Works on
10.3.9 but not on 10.4.x.
I was not able to create a package with the ._xxx file in Iceberg. No
idea how my friend managed this.
So basically it seems to boil down to bugs in Iceberg. I'll get in
touch with Stéphane privately.
Sorry for the noise on this list and thanks for all the help.
Mike
