Here's a small example showing the use of <md-icon> inside an <md-option> directive, just to prove it works. I believe you may be missing a stylesheet or script reference which is causing it to display text instead of the actual icon.

angular.module('app', ['ngMaterial', 'ngAnimate', 'ngAria'])
  .controller('ctrl', function() {
    this.commuteTypes = [{
        description: 'Walk',
        icon: 'directions_walk'
      },
      {
        description: 'Bus',
        icon: 'directions_bus'
      },
      {
        description: 'Drive',
        icon: 'directions_car'
      }
    ];

    this.commuteType = null;
  });

        <md-icon>{{ commute.icon }}</md-icon> {{ commute.description }}
      </md-option>
    </md-select>
