Sorry for the confusion, but Butler is actually working properly; it's my understanding of what it was supposed to do that's wrong. You can make this work, but only with a dragged-in file. If you use the File option, it takes the icon from the file itself, not the contents of the file.

To use a dragged-in image file, make sure it's square (and ideally, has an alpha channel). Butler will then scale it down to 16x16 for use in the menu bar.

I am trying to add a bookmark to YouTube to my menubar using Butler and 
would like to give it a custom icon (i.e., the YouTube icon). None of the 
options seems to be working correctly:

   - "From file..." option: Whatever image file I select, instead of 
   showing the image as the menubar icon, it shows a generic image filetype 
   icon
   - Drag and drop an image onto the option area: It seems to use the image 
   but in a way to large size (it looks like a corner of the image is shown)

Any suggestions?
