I remember we had a side letter or LOA back around the time of the merger that discussed this . Any help would be greatly appreciated here since I will not hold my breath in trying to contact any admin people this weekend!
I think it depends on whether you, "blocked in" in Iceland. Was the boarding door ever opened? I think if it was, then it's just like a regular flight. You should get the extra block time, but not the ground time.

However, I'm not a scheduling expert. :-)
