However the stick shaker is probably run off some kind of AOA sensor which isn't adjusted for icing conditions...

I suppose a Q driver will chime in, but yeah, I'm thinking the switch for contamination simply reschedules IAS for the purposes of flying a faster speed.
The airplane will still stall at a particular AOA and the shaker and pusher will fire accordingly. You would not arbitrarily reschedule those types of safety devices.
Agreed...Critical AoA is not a function of Airspeed. Aerodynamics 101...Logic would conclude that the engineers design the stall warning system to activate when the critical AoA is exceeded. On the SAAB that is the only function of the AoA vanes. Cannot speak to the "Q". But, I am thinking for the simplicity of certification that in a straight-wing turboprop the AoA vane is used only for stall warning.
I wish that the press would show more restraint and less sensationalism in this mishap.
