Not helpful.
You can use
WorldMapPOIFrame:Hide(), this will hide more than just the house icons though (will hide digsites, pet battles regardless of map settings, but also hide flight points and quest icons, and more.) Which may not be desirable.
Maybe the textures could be replaced by blank ones in Interface folder. Or maybe functions for WorldMapPOIFrame could be hooked on to prevent house ones from showing up while letting everything else show.
If that's good enough for you, you can get the texture through CASCExplorer at
Interface\Minimap\POIIcons.blp, convert that to .png using BLPConverter, and in your favourite image editor that supports transparency, erase over the icons you don't want showing up.
Export as .tga and place it in your WoW folder at Interface\Minimap\POIIcons.tga (non-case-sensitive), it'll stop the icons you erased from showing up on the world map, though the area name will still show up at the top of the map if you hover your mouse over where the icon would normally be.
