I would suggeted that the panels have delaminated and that cold air has gotten into the core of the spoiler causing condensation to form on the outer surface of the spoiler. At altitude the condensation freezes (forms frost).

If you notice the ice does not cover the entire spoiler, only the delaminated areas.
