Scott, is this solved now the same way as the control center issues were?
I don't have an alpha7 box to try this on and see the exact error, but it's almost certainly the same error with the package-manager. This is now fixed in Beta3. Of course you can't test it because the icons are missing due to Bug #302324. You can trivially fix that though by running the application-browser, type "install software" to filter down to that tile, then right click and "add to favorites". Then from the favorites section you can drag it into the System section. From there you can see it's working (hopefully on your box also).
QA machines with have the icon seem to work. The missing items can continue in the other bug.
Marking this closed as per #5
