I think there's plenty of oxygen. The trick is to find a way to extract the O2 from the water ice (hopefully there is a percentage of O2 that is simply dissolved in the ice instead of having to use electrolysis) to make it advantageous to burn it with the methane for power.
The equation should end up as the following for a viable mission using methane as a fuel:
Heat cost of producing O2 < Heat generated by burning O2 with atmospheric methane.
