I understand how the term 'ingestion' got to be used but given how turbines react to foreign objects, 'indigestion' seems more accurate.

You have to ingest something to get indigestion, resulting in sentences like "ice ingestion gave the turbines indigestion". At that point it's long-winded and would be shortened to "ice ingestion", making the point somewhat moot.
