Dynamically loading an Icon into an ImageList from a Stream

I'm having a problem loading an Icon into an ImageList.

When I load the icon directly it works fine, like this:
Icon sourceIcon = << Get an icon from somewhere... >>;
treeViewImageList.Images.Add("abc", sourceIcon);
But when I first save the original icon to a stream and then try loading the
ImageList from the stream, the icon image is messed up. Here's that code:
Icon sourceIcon = << Get an icon from somewhere... >>;
MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream();
sourceIcon.Save(imageStream);
imageStream.Position = 0;
Icon icon = new Icon(imageStream);
treeViewImageList.Images.Add("abc", icon);
The ultimate goal is to use the stream to save the icon byte array to a
database and then load it again later but first I need to be able to get the
icon to reload correctly from the stream.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks.

The following works absolutely fine for me. Are you by any chance
doing something funny with the ImageList.ImageSize? Scaling will make
them look terrible...

static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
// tray1 is a random icon in a resx
Icon ico1 = Resource1.tray1, ico2;
using(MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream()) {
ico1.Save(ms);
ms.Position = 0;
ico2 = new Icon(ms);
}
// show the 2 icons on a treeview
using(Form f = new Form())
using(ImageList il = new ImageList())
using(TreeView tv = new TreeView()) {
il.Images.Add("ico1", ico1);
il.Images.Add("ico2", ico2);
tv.ImageList = il;
tv.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
tv.Nodes.Add("node1", "Original", "ico1");
tv.Nodes.Add("node2", "Saved", "ico2");
tv.ExpandAll();
f.Controls.Add(tv);
f.ShowDialog();
}
}
