[solved] qt6 6.9 breaks LxQt icon rendering

EDIT: Fixed by lxqt-qtplugin 2.1.0-2, as mentioned below

Installing qt6 6.9 from `extra-testing` breaks the rendering of icons by LxQt (including pcmanfm).
The most likely culprit is `qt6-svg`, but I'm not sure, since it's hard to test the packages individually.
I would report it on the issue tracker, but I'm not sure if the `qt6-svg` package is the best place to report, and I'm also currently unable to access the Arch Linux Gitlab due to a 2FA mishap.

I "fixed" LxQt by reverting the following packages to their `extra` counterparts.

extra-testing/kcoreaddons                            6.12.0-1     6.12.0-2      -0.12 MiB

extra-testing/libfm-qt                               2.1.0-4      2.1.0-5        0.00 MiB
extra-testing/libqtxdg                               4.1.0-4      4.1.0-5        0.00 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-5compat                            6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.00 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-base                               6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1       -0.93 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-declarative                        6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        2.08 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-imageformats                       6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.00 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-multimedia                         6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.08 MiB

extra-testing/qt6-scxml                              6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.10 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-shadertools                        6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.07 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-svg                                6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.11 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-tools                              6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.16 MiB

extra-testing/qt6-wayland                            6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.25 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-webchannel                         6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.04 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-webengine                          6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1       16.99 MiB
extra-testing/qt6-webview                            6.8.3-1      6.9.0-1        0.03 MiB

But this was a hackjob, no warranty.

My `pacman.conf` ignores if it helps anyone:

IgnorePkg   = layer-shell-qt libfm-qt libqtxdg qt6-multimedia-ffmpeg
IgnoreGroup = qt6 kf6

I have the same issue since a regular update about an hour ago.
Qt 6.9 is now in [extra] repo .
