This is how I avoid this issue entirely:

    <link href=data:, rel=icon>
This is the smallest possible "null" favicon. It causes the browser to display nothing and ensures 0 HTTP requests for the favicon!

Does the browser display the generic "no favicon" icon, or is it just completely blank? I like the idea.

It's completely blank (tested in Firefox and Chromium).
