Description
If you crop a transparent PNG whose graphic is mostly black, and is transparent, it gets hidden in its app icon preview. This is apparent while cropping in 4.4.x, and both while cropping and in the Customizer sidebar in 4.5.
It's more obvious in WordPress 4.5 due to the move of the app icon/tab preview to the Customizer Sidebar.

Not sure if there's much we can do about this. If the image is predominantly light, it won't show up in the browser icon preview. If it's dark it won't show up in the app icon preview. Depending on the device or browser, a transparent icon could very well be hard to see, and that's a risk that the current setup helps content authors be more aware of. See attached example in the MS Edge browser in dark mode.
