added own icons to customized ribbon in access - they just dont show

There is a fine how-to-do for customized ribbons with own Icons in Access: http://www.accessribbon.de/?Access_-_Ribbons:Eigene_Icons___Bilder_in_Ribbon_Controls_verwenden

I follwed it - just the Icons dont show.

Button using imageMso works fine, button using getImage does not:

<button id="btnFrmPersonenOeffen1" 
        label="Personen" 
        imageMso="AccessFormDatasheet" 
        onAction="FormOpen" /> 
<button id="btnFrmPersonenOeffen2" 
        label="Personen" 
        size="large" 
        getImage="getImages" 
        tag="IBU.ico" 
        onAction="FormOpen" />

Added some test in the getImages() procedure:

Public Sub getImages(control As IRibbonControl, _
                     ByRef image)
Dim t As String
   t  = Application.CurrentProject.path & "\" & control.Tag
   MsgBox t, , "pic found: [" & Dir(t) & "]"
   Set image = LoadPicture(t)
End Sub

even tried referring to a non-existent Picture in the tag-entry to make sure it causes an error message - as it did. Referred to different Icons of different sizes. Changed size from "normal" to "large" - space provided in the button changed - just the referred Icon does't Show up. There's empty space shown:

(added screenshot but it was removed)

Make sure that you don't get any UI errors, see How to: Show Add-in User Interface Errors for more information.
