Comment:

 To summarize the comments above, the custom logo frontend functions
 currently only work with media attachments that have been specifically
 cropped to the 512px size.

 The most likely solution that I can come up with is to still "crop" the
 image behind the scenes (ie, create a copy of the attachment with 512px as
 the "full" size and then generate all of the site-icon-specific sizes) but
 to allow users to skip the step of selecting a cropzone. It should also be
 possible to "skip cropping" on non-square images and let WordPress auto-
 crop to square similar to the default thumbnail image size.
