Actually removeIconExtension() is currently a private member function. If
you want to make it public, and I think that it useful enough that it
should be public, then I can see your point (actually it should be static
as well). However, if this is the case, then we'd better not have it print
warnings to the user (after all, they know their icon has an extension,
that is why they're calling the function). Printing the warning from that
function was a matter of avoiding code duplication, but it should be moved
into removeIconExtensionInternal() as you say.

Actually queryIcons() and queryIconsByContext() would still use
removeIconExtension() (no warnings) whereas the all internal calls would
use removeIconExtensionInternal() (warnings).

If you agree with my points, I will make a patch.
