It isn't "too much ice", its is way more subtle then that, it is ice taking advantage of insufficient gaps in the modified engine to start to form.. and what was the reason for the engine modification - improved fuel economy so clearly we have trade-off here between engine fuel efficiency and its resistance to ice. We will have problems like that in the foreseeable future unless all aircraft engine development ceases.
