They're not sure it's ice yet, and it seems like it's more likely to be something else:
the Dawn science team has not found evidence that is
consistent with ice. The spots' albedo - a measure of
the amount of light reflected - is also lower than
predictions for concentrations of ice at the surface.
caveat: this is from a separate article, but I think they are referring to the bright spots in general: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4677 http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4677
