as mentioned before just logging out or restarting the finder will automatically change
the disk image icon into a normal folder icon

so no need for all this copy paste trickery :)

Unless you find it faster to copy / paste / delete than to logout/login or restart the Finder. As I haven't logged out in weeks, that's not an option (it would require quitting the 30ish apps I leave open), and restarting the Finder takes nearly as much effort as copy / paste / delete on the icon.

It's just nice to know there's yet another way to force an immediate update.

Not only the copy-paste-cut procedure is not needed, but also logging out is not needed. I use a CM Plugin 'FileUtilsCM' <http://free.abracode.com/cmworkshop/> which adds a number of CM items including one called 'Refresh'. Simply apply that to the folder that still shows the disk icon and the icon is updated. I consider the often delayed icon update a bug in OSX. The 'Refresh' CM item is very usefull for updating icons as with files that are saved replacing the original from another application or in this case with disks (from images or otherwise) that are copied to another disk.
