Safe to ignore. Firaxis has done there own thing and the double colons need to be there.

The mod is refusing to build because of this or some error related to it.

Please post your files and we will take a look at them.

It's nothing to do with the multiple colons - they are actually correct so the error is nonsense - it's just because they aren't considered legit XML.
The real problem is the asset cooker error relating to Icons.blp. There must be a problem in your XLP or asset files somewhere. The error message isn't very helpful at determining what though so we'll need to see your Modbuddy project to go further.

Here's the files. Don't work too hard, I may start over from scratch!
Edit: Never mind template 2 keeps crashing. I think or hope this one may be more correct. Please help.

Some things I found:
In your Joshs_Template_Icons.xml file you are referencing textures that don't exist (ICON_MOROSINI_XX.dds & ICON_VENICE_XX.dds). In your Textures folder they are called ICON_CIV_CUSTOM_XX.dds & ICON_LEADER_CUSTOM_XX.dds.
Your .artdef files build actions are not set to ArtDef and your .xlp files build action is not set to XLP. This is needed so the Update Database action of (Mod Art Dependency File) treats these an art file.
Your Mod.Art.xml file is incomplete. All your .xlp files should have a corresponding .blp entry in the relevant section under <gameLibraries>. and your .artdef files should be referenced as well under <artConsumers>. I have not made a civ before only units & unit icons so you will probably need to have a look at someone else's civ mod or the DLC (xxx.dep file) to find where they should be placed in the Mod.Art.xml.
It is also possible you will need a UserInterface.artdef file as well.
Apart from that it all seems good.
