ApplicationIcon property doesn't work for F# projects when targeting Full .NET

See original GitHub issue

This works correctly for C# and VB.NET projects:

dotnet new console -lang C# / dotnet new console -lang VB
place any icon file (icon.ico) in the root directory
in project file, change TargetFramework to net45 and add <ApplicationIcon>icon.ico</ApplicationIcon>
dotnet build

The *.exe in bin/Debug/net45 has a proper icon set. If however you repeat the same steps above, but for F# (dotnet new console -lang F#) the icon is not set.
