are the blue lines in the background the strands or curves?
did you try increasing subframe sampling?

In the bg we have straight strands, and increasing subframe do not help. I found a posible solution in the mailing list using "Resample Strands Once" from emtools, let me try.

Just an idea, you could play with self.ShapeResolutionU or self.ShapeResolutionV.
These are somewhat hidden features in ice, maybe if you set one of them to 1 they just connect the strandpositions without interpolation.
