I think you're missing a fundamental point here - the person who comes along
and writes an arctic adventure with "frost" monsters is only in violation of
the OGL if they cite the original "frost" work as a source.  If they don't
use that material as a source, there is no violation, and normal copyright
law takes over.  PI is not a copyright - it is a statement by a licensee
that "this party of my work isn't OGC so you don't have permission to use it
under the OGL - find another way to use it if you feel the need".
