I would expect sliding grill covers to to be more prone to icing.
Gill style covers that I bought, not so much. If the grill shutters do ice I would expect if you were to stop and sit for a few minutes heat coming off the radiator would melt the ice rendering the shutters functional once again. At that point I would just lock the shutters in the open position, let the engine run cool.
