Description of problem: Attempting to run system-config-firewall from the command line fails with the following errors. Running the corresponding version of system-config-firewall-tui works.

It's the 1.0.12-2.fc8 update that is borking system-config-firewall.

Yes, I should have mentioned that by downgrading to the original versions of system-config-firewall and system-config-firewall-tui (the latter being necessary only to satisfy dependencies) on the install DVD using rpm -Uvh --oldpackage system-config-firewall works again.
Creating a symlink from the icon's proper location to the path system-config-firewall will also get you up and running until the package is fixed to look for the file in the proper location. $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/system-config-firewall.png /usr/share/system-config-firewall/system-config-firewall_48.png
Sad, that this can get past updates-testing... all users are confused by this.
A fixed package is on the way.

Commenting lines related to "self.icon" in the file fixes the bug but you don't have the icon, of course make a backup of the file before doing this.
Fixed in updates in package system-config-firewall-1.0.12-3.1.fc8.
system-config-firewall-1.0.12-3.1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
