  • I never unlocked items or achievements (for example, completing the caves without taking damage) when playing the challenges. I believe this icon is a visual indication that these are disabled in the current run.

That icon means that the run won't count for achievements and item unlocks. The same icon is present in any run where you put in the seed manually: that's because some seeds/challenges give you an advantage in terms of drops, item combinations and treasure rooms, while normally the runs are completely randomized.
