WHen this happens, are you guys progressively braking, or jam-braking?

Basically, are you loading the weight of the car on the front wheels progressively, or, are you slamming the brakes quickly?

The first is the correct way...and you're less likely to trip ABS in any instance. The front wheels are about 70% of your braking force, and by loading up the front suspension FIRST, then you end up with more downforce on those wheels, allowing them to do their work better without tripping ABS.

That said, perhaps the car is too soft in the front, and nose dives hard enough to allow the back wheels to trip into ABS. If you're turning a bit, perhaps it's enough to where ABS trips on one wheel, kicking off ice-mode?

It could also be related to the inertia sensors in the car - perhaps they are reaching their limits and not reading the car correctly.
