Later that session it happened again at a less high speed section of the track. Didn't do it again the next 5 sessions and never had a problem. I see the traction light flash on warm up lap sometimes, it might during the session I never look, but I never notice anything that would effect lap times.
How aggressively did you trail brake? IMO it's the wrong way to drive the car...mostly because that induces ice mode. It's worse if you've got a big front bar.

I had more ice mode issues than most - pedal dance or no - until I started braking in a straight line. If I trail brake now, it's maybe 10% of the brakes or I just lift and use the tires to scrub speed.
