Any thoughts on what is going on?

Nothing!
The spoiler extends @ approx. 70mph and retracts @ approx. 50 mph. In order to do that, the car has to know when these speeds have been reached.
This is accomplished with a speed calibration by the DME (ecu) when the car is 1st started. Once the car is up to 3 mph, the calibration is done and the light goes off telling you that all is fine.
The light will only go on again if the spoiler fails to extend/retract when it should, or if the electrical circuit fails, such as a blown fuse or relay to warn you that care should be taken at 'spoiler' speeds because the rear can get a little squirelly.
