That certainly seems to be the case. You get the "No non-economic hard stone available" if you try to craft stone and nothing but ice is available. Same for masons trying to make doors, etc. Ice isn't listed as an economic stone, so you can't change that setting in the status screen either.  Accordingly I'm removing the 'verify' tag.

Ice cannot be used to craft

That certainly seems to be the case. You get the "No non-economic hard stone available" if you try to craft stone and nothing but ice is available. Same for masons trying to make doors, etc. Ice isn't listed as an economic stone, so you can't change that setting in the status screen either. Accordingly I'm removing the 'verify' tag.

Reclaiming icy embark locations

When reclaiming a 'freezing' location any construction / digging that took place in the ocean is filled with solid, salty ice. I'm not sure what happens with fresh water glacier layers. Ptb ptb 12:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
