Comment (by mohamedahamed):

 Yes, the defensive checks needs to be added in Core, namely:
 1. In get_site_icon_url() (general-template.php): Only update $url if the
 attachment URL is not empty

 2. In the_embed_site_title() (embed.php): Check if URL is empty before
 rendering the img tag (like wp_site_icon() already does).
