Never and I used to ride in really cold weather. The LCD screen is enclosed in the outer plastic case. I's probably just inside the case. If it's slight, I'd leave it alone and quit riding until it warms up. It will probably disappear on its own. If it bugs you, you could take the top fairing off and remove the rubber boot and lead connector from the back of the instrument cluster. Remove the the 3 or four screws that hold the instrument cluster. Remove the screws around the back of the case. Separate the case make sure the insides don't fall out. Let it dry under a box or something so no dust settles in the case or on gauges (that would really drive you nuts). Reassemble and install.
I'm changing gauge faces soon. To bad I don't have pics now. I think the frost will go away on its own though. I've noticed my breath freezes on the outside of the gauges but it is gone the next day. That's out in the open but the dry air will probably suck up that moisture if it got in there in the first place.
Possible that you have some loose screws on the case? IDK if there is a gasket. Probably is.

I can't say for sure but I might have seen a little fog in a corner once but that was ten years ago. Hard to remember for sure. I gave up winter riding because it was miles on the bike where I couldn't go fast along with all the other concerns. I'm glad I put mine away when it gets cold. It's still running good ten years later.

IDK. The problem is that there's not anywhere to evaporate to. It's an enclosed space like a terrarium. so I'd steer away from making more moisture condense in there before the fog becomes frozen droplets. I bet it will be gone on its own in a day or two. We had some thawing today. The air is probably moist but it's still cold.

I just removed my gauges meter and it looks to me like it has small C shaped slots in the back. I wouldn't worry about a little condensation. It will come out if it's still there when the weather warms up. I'll be taking the gauge meter apart and have a closer look at the C holes. I think they are vents.
