This is not the case. (I'm on Mozilla, by the way.)
'./CMFPlone/skins/plone_templates/header.pt' references the file::

     <link rel="shortcut icon" href="" type="image/x-icon" 
tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/favicon.ico" />

It *is* specified in the page. It is also provided by Plone:
'./CMFPlone/skins/plone_images/favicon.ico'

The error is caused because './CMFCore/FSFile.py' does not include
'*.ico' files in Filesystem Directory Views.

This is not an HTTP 404 Page not found error. It is a Zope NotFound
exception.
