I assume you're waiting long enough for System Picker to find the System Folders -- it can take several minutes...
Anyway, you can "bless" the new System Folder manually:

1) Open the desired System Folder on a window.

2) Take the System file out from it -- for instance, drag it on the desktop.

3) Close the window.

4) Open the System Folder again.

5) Drag the System file back into the open window -- the subfolders inside (Apple Menu Items, Extensions, Control Panels, etc) should get their usual custom icons at once.

6) Close the window and you're done! The closed System Folder should have the Mac icon, indicating that it's blessed.

There's a much shorter way to bless a System Folder.

Hold Command-Option and double-click the System file, then the Finder. It's only one of those that needs to be double-clicked, but I can't remember which at the moment.
