Has anyone had the spoilers freeze shut without having rain first, and

No, but I have seen a case where one spoiler became disconnected
resulting in sudden asymmetric lift when they (it) were deployed in the
pattern. This is potentially a much more serious problem than than having
both spoilers fail to open. A good reason to test your spoilers early in
the approach and (naturally) in the preflight.
