I feel like an idiot... Or, browsing a simple icon.

Alright, I created an icon at runtime, and now I'd like to browse said icon. I know the icon exists, because I can use the \icon text macro to display it small sized, but I'd like to display it full size in the browser window. Basically, I'm doing this.
turf
  var/icon/currentIcon
  New()
    ..()
    //create currentIcon here

  proc
    Show(mob/M)
      M << "\icon[src.currentIcon]"  // This works, so the icon is there.
      M << browse_rsc(src.currentIcon, "Test")
      M << browse("<img src=Test>")

      // M << browse_rsc(src.currentIcon, "Test.png")
      // M << browse("<img src=Test.png>")

      // M << browse_rsc(src.currentIcon, "Test.dmi")
      // M << browse("<img src=Test.dmi>")

      // M << browse_rsc(src.currentIcon)
      // M << browse("<img src=\ref[src.currentIcon]>")

I've tried all kinds of variations on this, and I'm stumped. Suggestions?

I think Crispy mentioned something like this a while back, and I think he found a work around: you have to put a delay in between browse_rsc() and browse() to get it to work. If I can find the post, I'll edit it and paste it here.
