[2.0.8] Missleading error on recipe proto about missing icon when recipe has normal/expensive defined.

This is debatable as to it being a bug or not, but it's a very misleading error to me and had me scratching my head for a few minutes about it.
The error in question:
Except the icon is optional if the recipe has one result item, so I couldn't understand why it wasn't working when other recipes did.
(This is after I changed result/result_count to results.)
As it turns out, normal/expensive has been removed, so the actual error is that those are defined, and not the missing icon itself. Once I replaced it with just the contents of the normal section, the icon error went away.
So it'd be great if the error was something along the lines of normal/expensive sections being defined, instead of something that seems completely different from a user perspective.
The error in question:
