This is a picture of my dash in Gnome:
The second icon is a shortcuts to an Emacs process. It used to show the Emacs icon but now it just shows the generic icon.
How do I change what icon is associated with a favorite (and ideally make it the same as the application icon showin "Applications"?

Is this programm in your favorites?
First you need to find the .desktopfile.
Enter gsettings get org.gnome.shell favorite-apps to get all the names of your favorites. Fore exaple these are mine: ['firefox.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop']
find ~ /usr/ -name the.name.desktop
will scan your system for the .desktopfile (replace the.name.desktop with the filename you want to look for in your personal and /user folders.
Then you can edit the desktopfile (perhaps as root). Change the line (or add the line) Icon=.... There you can put the name of your icon or the whole path to the image you want to use.
