My .desktop file references the same file (and same path) that I'm 
loading within the app.

Based on your idea, I noticed other apps only reference the basename of 
their icon and place the file in 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/foo/basename.png. I tried this same behavior 
and what do you know... Gnome Shell shows my hi-res window icon.

Is this behavior a possible "bug" (or enhancement) of Gnome Shell? Not 
that I'm real broke up about it, but it was annoying.
