This condensation problem is confusing, also when refreezing opened
or exposed film. You will not have condensation without a steady
supply of ambient/warm air along the object. This is not present
inside a camera body, and beyond that, I seriously doubt you even
can have the film so cold that it doesn't thaw up the moment it
touches the film pressure plate. 
It would definately be a shame to let a nice shot pass because the 
film is too cold....;-))
