Resource Explorer creating invalid image resource

Resource Explorer in 17.3.7 creates an icon like so:

  <data name="oracle" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms">
    <value>..\Resources\oracle.ico;System.Drawing.Icon, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</value>
  </data>

This works at first, populating an image in the Neutral Value column. However, on reloading the UI, the Neutral Value column changes to "Failed to load resource value: Type System.Drawing.Icon, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 cannot be located."

Managed Resource Editor (legacy) inserts this instead:

  <data name="oracle" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms">
    <value>..\Resources\oracle.ico;System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</value>
  </data>

which populates a blank value in the "Neutral Value" column when viewed in Resource Explorer.

@chipplyman could you please validate this behaviour in VS 17.14?
