XML Can't Handle 2-Layer Icon

It took me a while to track this down.  If you're saving any data that contains a LabVIEW icon, and that icon contains more than 1 layer, XML can't handle it.  See attachment.

That shall correlate to a known issue:

" Although you can flatten and unflatten LabVIEW variant data to and from XML, LabVIEW returns an error if the variant data is an element of a cluster or is an array of variants."

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/converting-data-to-and-from-xml.html

I think LabVIEW treats the image as a variant, which would explain this behavior.
