I wonder if the foam has failed around the fresh air boxes and you are getting engine bay heat in that way.

Funny you mention that; the rubber/plastic piece fell apart into a million little brittle pieces when I first got the car here from California. No doubt the heat and age being from CA degraded it quickly. I took it off and tossed it. Thought nothing of it.
The dealer just told me the "engine partition wall is damaged and missing. This allows hot engine air to be drawn directly into the fresh air intake for the climate control."
Kind of looks like this piece:
