There's a thread ("running pan gives many errors") from back in May,
shortly after the the changes (before the 0.159 release including them I
believe, so it was the live-git build affected at that point), where DD
says:

In that case it was an uninstalled run from the wrong dir, and running
from the correct dir so pan could find its icons in the relative
./pan/icons path was the confirmed fix.
Here (on gentoo, with a live-git ebuild adopted from the release ebuild in
the guru overlay) the installation is to /usr/ so the icons are installed
and found in /usr/share/pan/icons, but as DD mentions and as the debug
above suggests, if you haven't set the cmake prefix it'll default to
/usr/local/ so the icons should be under /usr/local/share/pan/icons/ .
