It is my understanding that sugar does not spoil if kept dry. This is because it would likely pull the water out of any bacteria that is unlucky enough to reside in dry sugar. There are certain types of bacteria that can survive dry conditions (those that can for spores). These could not be dehydrated by the sugar. However, water is needed to facilitate the reproduction that leads to spoilage.

I have been researching this matter as well. I am not sure if powdered sugar goes stale, however I have found that the strange taste we've been noticing is probably from the addition of vegetable oil, which is supposed to counter any moisture that may ruin the sugar?

Eventually yes it will, and since powdered milk usually is non-fat it wil spoil much faster than whole milk will...and taste weird in my opinion.
