Aside from slipping on it, and then over the side, the ice unbalances the boat. As you said, the submerged parts wouldn't ice up so bad, but the Turm may ice over bad enough to raise the center of gravity high enough to roll the boat. Even modern ships have this problem.

Just read somewhere (Either in Blair or the 564 book i linked in the campaign thread) that the biggest problem (along with mentioned above) was the diesel exhaust valves not sealing on dives, causing severe flooding and damage to the engines.
