I'm having the exact same issue right now. I also tried updating to the latest unstable versions of the cinnamon packages but the problem persists. Using the software renderer variant of cinnamon-session did not help either.

The debug output does not show anything relevant.

Any ideas?

The icons are draw by NEMO file manager, try updating NEMO to the unstable version with accept_keywords="xxx"

Thanks, I didn't realize nemo was the cause. Emerging version 3.2.0 solved the problem for me.
