I was mostly thinking about the private icons installed in (or should be 
installed in) "$KDEDIR/share/apps/<app>/icons/<theme>/<size>".  These are only 
for that app and shouldn't be a problem.  It will be a very rare case if there 
is a private icon in 'crystalsvg' that isn't really CrystalSVG and there is an 
icon of the same name in 'hicolor' (private) or 'kdeclassic' (global) that isn't 
the exact same icon.

Global system icons shouldn't be not be installed in 'hicolor'.  They must be 
installed in a theme (only applications should install unthemed icons as 
HiColor).  So, if there are global icons in 'crystalsvg' that are not really 
CystalSVG style, the only solution is to replace them with a proper CrystalSVG 
style icon -- there is no problem leaving theme there (only an aesthetic issue).
