I went through this too in a bathroom that literally wasn’t being used for anything. The moisture in the air was just condensing in the duct and freezing. I went up one winter to check and I felt the ice cringe inside the flexible duct work. I just put a bit of a bend in the dusting and I haven’t observed any problems since then. The only thing is hopefully the amount of condensation inside doesn’t exceed the ability of it to evaporate when it warms up. The duct is pretty sturdy though so it hopefully won’t become heavy with water and collapse or something.

You can check the home improvement thread for some pictures I posted of my situation.
