It may be possible, that this warning light comes up in this moment.

Does that maybe have to do with your observation?
Sorry, folks, I should add a note here:
My clutch type LSD has a preload (i.e. some pre-locking), which makes it work also in the snow.
In contrast, a Torsen LSD can not be equipped with a preload.
So maybe I was wrong here and the FR-S will actually NOT show this behavior of my BMW in very tight corners!
