Fairly straight forward explanation here.
When water freezes it will eventually 'freeze out' or extract the minerals from the water. What you are seeing is just the minerals in solid form after they have come out of solution. Because it is a lot more difficult for the minerals to dissolve back into solution they remain in a solid state, and this is what you are seeing. As a general rule, the minerals are good for you, and your body needs them.
Sometimes water can be "too pure".
Edit -- What you are probably also seeing is a higher concentration of the minerals due to the minerals collecting on the ice trays over numerous freezing cycles. Same principle, just a higher density. It's highly unlikely that the particles you see are tiny pieces of the ice tray itself.
