    As you can see, the HTML points to the default favicon: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

    Drupal will not overwrite that, but will upload your custom favicon to “files/….” and then change the HTML to use that.

    Your HTML was not changed. That can mean one of two things:

    1. The favicon was not uploaded correctly, Drupal got some error and did not change it.
    2. The favicon was uploaded correctly, but your theme has the default location hardcoded.

    I suspect the latter. Your theme’s page.tpl.php files should include <?php print $header ?> instead of the hardcoded <link rel="shortcut icon" ....
