Just in case it wasn't really freezing that caused the change in odor, I
wanted to add my two cents.  Two moms I've helped with particular problems
with frozen milk smelling rancid turned out to be basic housekeeping than
biology.  One mom wasn't cleaning her pump parts thoroughly enough so that
even freshly pumped milk had an off smell.  Once she properly took apart the
pump parts and washed them thoroughly, the problem went away.

Another mom with particularly soapy smelling milk turned out to be putting
dish soap directly on her pump parts, which made it very difficult to
completely rinse.  I suggested she mix some warm, soapy water and put the
parts into the soapy water, rather than trying to save time by putting the
soap directly onto the pump parts.  The molecular make-up of plastic makes
soap tend to stick easier.

FWIW,
