Spider-Woman preventing untapping when ability is removed.
I lost a draft match because a Spider-Woman, Secret Agent prevented a creature from untapping for multiple turns (for the rest of the match) when her ability was removed by Frozen in Ice.
To reproduce:
Play any creature
Have an opponent play Spider-Woman, Secret Agent, targeting the creature.
Play Frozen in Ice, targeting Spider-Woman, Secret Agent.
Upon the next turn, the creature targeted by Spider-Woman, Secret Agent will not untap even though it should.
Expected result: the tapped creature should untap when the ability is removed.

Keeping the creature tapped is not contingent on Spider Woman having the ability. The resolving ability has set up a continuous effect with a duration, which has not yet expired. The duration is "for as long as you control Spider-Woman", and that creature is still under ypur opponent's control. So your creature doesn't get to untap.
