Another way to look at it would be the load at that speed is enough that the TC can't stay locked up. A slipping TC clutch is an instant way to generate heat.

I absolutely agree with all of this. Seems like everything is working ok, but gear ratio is probably far from idea with your setup. What is the gear ratio and tire size? That info will be the key
