I was also thinking about the coating produced by such activity. I do think it could still be active though - any spray of water could be so tenuous that Dawn's cameras would not be able to detect it under even the best of conditions. If such a spray was thick enough to be easily seen, I guess the results (ice coating) would be a lot more dramatic than the bright spots we see.
