Maybe thats going a little overboard, but I don't think you're looking at the big picture when you say that its negligible.

That's quite a dubious claim to make, and provides too easy of an answer. There are far more complications than what you have described. Want an easier answer for all that? Look at humid places such as Vancouver or Singapore, and see how humidty impacts vehicles.
Regardless, wet roads are no fun, but I think it would be hard to believe it would be as bad as rain, or snow. Assuming the hydrogen cars don't emit water vapour, you have miniscule amounts dropping, which are easily soaked up by other people's tires and being on heated asphalt or concrete. I seriously don't think it's that big of a deal to cause any serious concern
