No, IIRC, you should have a fallback case:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     (setq org-agenda-category-icon-alist
           `(("work" ,(concat icon-dir "my_briefcase.png")
              nil nil :ascent center)
             ("House" ,(concat icon-dir "toolbar_home.png")
              nil nil :ascent center)
             ("" '(space . (:height (16) :width (16))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
