A flat plat stall looks like this (airflow from left to right):An aerodynamic stall caused by ice is harder to explain in the absence of a lift-producing airfoil.
Just like a 'traditional' airfoil, ice may trip this kind of separation earlier.
To see what a tail stall looks like on a tail with a downforce, turn your screen upside down

There are slots on Cessna Cardinal stabilators to treat a stabilator stall issue. F-4's had them too. T-45 just got honkin' big strakes (called "SMURFs" for a while)...all to deal with tailplane stall.
