src/template/partials/header.hbs does not contain a reference to the favicon
Gruntfile.js copies the favicon.ico file into a temporary directory while serving the site: https://github.com/sdl/dxa-html-design/blob/master/design/Gruntfile.js#L201
It also copies the file for a build.
However, without a hard reference to the favicon, a browser may cache an old favicon and use that instead.
Using <link rel="icon" href="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico?" /> will help assure that browsers show the correct favicon: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2208933/how-do-i-force-a-favicon-refresh
