Well I couldn't find much on either the behavoir of hydrogen peroxide at ten mbar or less, or a copy of the paper on hydrogen peroxide snow theorized to form during dust storms that I could access. I suspect that these are moot points, as the martian soil is 20% iron sulfate, which a friend in the chemistry department assures me would cause H2O2 to decompose far to quickly for it to build up in significant amounts! So to answer my own question, no its not likely the gullies on mars flow with concentrated bleach!
