    It's not a mistake.
    Same thing happens with pietrification (and disintegration).

    The only mistake is the gore option removing it.

    @Sergio, the reason behind the freezing and breaking into a million pieces is this: it is a fantasy setting. In fantasy settings people explode into millions of pieces (be careful, this is a link to TVTropes) when frozen, even if there is absolutely no scientific evidence for its reasoning.

    If you click on the TVTropes link, it even states—as a general concept across more games than just Baldur's Gate—that "this could destroy their equipment as well." Baldur's Gate is also referenced under the main article under 'Video Games.'

    Being turned to stone also has the same effect. Fire, on the other hand, does not have the same 'properties' in fantasy settings.

    Anyway, this is not a bug. Moving to Not an Issue. :-)
