I have noticed the accelerated aging, also damage to the emulsion. I suspect that freezing causes problems due to the expansion of water in its frozen state.

What is left out at room temp will go bad very quickly. Seems like the aging is stopped while frozen but time accelerates if you un-freeze it.
