I looks like it's what Windows does. It may change in the future.

I got your screenshot from a previous message. I can reproduce the 
problem both in Windows 10 and 11.

If the main display scale is 100%, it works correctly: the icon 
displayed in the notification banner is the same as the one displayed in 
the notification area. If the scale is different, the icon is displayed 
correctly in the notification area but the icon in the banner and in the 
action/notification center is corrupted.

I'll submit a new bug.
