To answer my own question (posting to the list in case any others
are having the same problem):

When I insmod kgicon.o, you I needed to specify the resolution.
I was blindly trying kgicon_width=640 kgicon_height=480, but
if you do the math (480 pixels / 16 pixels per character = 30) that 
becomes 30 lines.
To get a more standard 25 lines, use kgicon_height=400.

Magically, when I use that, it works beautifully.
