For sure. I keep forgetting to shut my TC off, so you get that nice rally drift (skid) going and the micra says... "NOPE." Good to know that it works...
Oh, Also. The A/C kicks on when the defrost is running. Might have a bearing on it.

Excellent point about A/C and defrost! We already know A/C drag has a measurable impact on fuel economy.

I've had the stability control kick in just as I feel the car starting to slide on an ice-covered highway transfer ramp at a cloverleaf that I took a little too fast; it's sort of an "Oh, ****...oh, good" feeling as the car starts to lose, and then regains control. Watching other less-equipped cars spin out and crash into the guard rail around me was very surreal.
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

My only experience with the Micra's stability control was on a rural highway covered with frogs. It works!
I'll just leave that there.

There were hundreds of them on this highway for a good stretch. It was very strange. (And slippery.)
Why did the frog cross the road???

frog corpses do make roads better lubricated, i agree.
