Placing at the bottom will hold challenges for a folded situation,
though placing at the top will slide things that would otherwise be
stationary. However, since we are known to be in a situation where no
icon can possibly resolve the drop (with the exclusion of the trash),
perhaps always placing at the top (and sliding existing icons down) is
not evil?
