It looks like a bug in windres. Here's a fix that works for both windres
and MS RC. The bug seems to be the icon controls within dialogs don't
like being defined in terms of "id", but rather expect a "name" instead.
 about_icon ICON DISCARDABLE "icon5.ico"
 ABOUT_WINDOW DIALOG DISCARDABLE 32, 32, 180, 100
 STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION
 FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
 BEGIN
 DEFPUSHBUTTON "Ok", IDOK, 66, 80, 50, 14
 ICON "about_icon", IDC_STATIC, 7, 7, 32, 32, SS_ICON
 CTEXT "text one", IDC_STATIC, 40, 12, 100, 8
 CTEXT "text two", IDC_STATIC, 7, 52, 166, 8
 END
I'll fix this for the next release. Thanks for the bug report with a 
easy to work with testcase!

Mumit
