No, it shouldn't be. As is the case with many side scrolling beat em' ups, the original BOR did not remap icons at all. When icon remapping was added it WAS on by default, but this caused compatibility issues with older modules and often as not leads to palette difficulties with new ones; authors tend to forget about icons when setting up their palettes. For those reasons it has been fixed and made into an optional feature as was intended.

How about different fix, how about checking if icon is using the same palette as character and if it is - using character remap, but if its using different palette than chracter spriutes then display its own palette.

It is hard to do so and in cost of loading time. Plus many sprites don't use full palette, which may cause unpredictable result.
Also under 8bit mode all palette can be identical in theory, no matter how you design your remap.
