You can try:
ng-attr-src="{{item.status.stateIcon}}"
From the documentation:
"If the attribute with the binding is the prefix prefix ngAttr (denormalized prefix: 'ng-attr-', 'ng: attr-'), then during compilation the prefix will be removed and the binding will be applied to the unprefixed attribute. This allows you to bind attributes that otherwise the case would be handled by browsers in their uncompressed form (for example, the img [src] or svg circle [cx] attributes). "
