Observed the same thing on approach in icing one morning. All was well until flaps full, and we noticed significant buffeting. Adding 5kts to Vapp made it a lot better. After the flight, we noticed a VERY thin layer of frost on the LE of the THS.

Oddly enough, only seems to happen on the 320, not the 319 or 321. All IAE engines.
