Installing lxqt-meta-0.8.0 with USE="policykit -admin -icons -lightdm -lximage -minimal -powermanagement (-sddm) -ssh-askpass" does not pull in dev-qt/qtsvg-5.4.0. This dependency is required to render some icons in the application menu. Adding USE="powermanagent", for example, does pull in dev-qt/qtsvg-5.4.0 along with lxqt-base/lxqt-powermanagement.

You are correct in that the flaw is probably not associated with the meta, but is rather with more than one of the packages it pulls in. lxqt functions which should be able to display program icons include the application menu, the panel, and various configuration menus including file associations and session settings. I have not tracked down which of the lxqt-base packages provide these functions nor whether other functions may have the same issue. The same issue exists with x11-misc/pcmanfm-qt which is also pulled in by lxqt-meta with the USE flags indicated and which shoulld be able to display program icons.
This applies to lxqt-panel-0.9.0 with USE="mainmenu", too. I suggest to add dev-qt/qtsvg:5 to lxqt-panel's RDEPEND, as in future versions of lxqt-panel the mainmenu-plugin probably will be statically linked anyways.
Added RDEPEND on dev-qt/qtsvg:5 in lxqt-panel-0.9.0
