Comment(by robertaccettura):

 This isn't so much a user feature, but an ISP and performance feature.

 Serving up a 404 is a waste of cpu, memory and database connections.  It
 turns 1 pageview into 2.  Hence if there is a reasonable way to fix this
 and prevent the bogus pageview... for people who don't know about using a
 favicon, they will improve performance, and their hosts will be able to
 shed some unnecessary load.
