Perhaps just speculation on my part,  but since a 2-stroke has much more strongly pulsating flow through the carbs, it may be that any ice starting to form would be savagely ripped away and ingested early on, rather than accumulating as it would in the carb of a 4-stroke, with its much less pulsatile inlet flow.   I think of multi-cylinder 2-strokes as individual single-cylinder engines sharing a crankshaft, since each cylinder must breathe independently.  Often, as with the 582, they are individually carburated as well.

Also has a lot to do with the design of the carb.  A butterfly probably catches/accumulates  ice way easier then the Bing 54 slide. JImChuk
