It's hard to say if I take what you're saying correctly...
Basically, Open differential means that the power goes to whatever wheel has the least restriction (traction) on it.
-So if one wheel is on ice, and the other on dry pavement, only the tire that is on the ice will get traction
LSD which stands for limited slip differential should apply power to the wheel that has the most traction and if a wheel is slipping, will transfer the power away from that wheel to the other. So it is possible for one of the rear tires to spin depending on how slippery the surface is.
-So, again, one wheel on ice and the other on dry pavement, it will probably put a little bit of power to the wheel on ice before transferring all power to the wheel on dry pavement. So, the tire on ice could get enough power to spin it, and then because its on ice, there is no traction to stop it from spinning giving the allusion that it is spinning.
So disregard most of my previous post as I was not thinking clearly
