My impression has always been that the reason for shifting into neutral is to reduce compression braking, or otherwise to allow the wheels to match the speed of the road more easily. Generally, if I'm forced to brake suddenly in icy conditions, I pump the brakes and consider the options for moving to either side of the obstacle.
