Inliner tries to inline favicons

[dotherightthing]

Several favicons are referenced in my static HTML template:

<!-- Favicons -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="../img/favicons/apple-touch-icon.png?v=A0Rqr8Y59x" sizes="180x180">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="../img/favicons/favicon-32x32.png?v=A0Rqr8Y59x" sizes="32x32">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="../img/favicons/favicon-16x16.png?v=A0Rqr8Y59x" sizes="16x16">
<link rel="manifest" href="../img/favicons/site.webmanifest?v=A0Rqr8Y59x">
<link rel="mask-icon" href="../img/favicons/safari-pinned-tab.svg?v=A0Rqr8Y59x" color="#000000">

The inliner appear to (try to) inline these - but fails:

Inliner:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/path/to/dev_build/statics/../img/favicons/apple-touch-icon.png?v=A0Rqr8Y59x'
Inliner:

Inliner:

Inliner:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/path/to/dev_build/statics/../img/favicons/safari-pinned-tab.svg?v=A0Rqr8Y59x'
Inliner:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/path/to/dev_build/statics/../img/favicons/site.webmanifest?v=A0Rqr8Y59x'

I wouldn't expect images to be inlined, and my guess is that this is only occurring because these images are linked using href rather than src.

When I try to link these same images using <img src="..."> the inliner does not complain at all.
