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.
Ice mode is driver induced error. Check back on your datalogs, and take note of your throttle and brake input in the section where you encountered ice mode.

Not using the pedal dance, IMO, is the same as leaving a driver aid on. While it's not stability control, it is a form of traction control, in the form of electronic brake distribution. The computer is forcing the car to maximize braking potential, rather than you, the driver, learning how to threshold brake.
