Interesting. If the film is to blame, then there's really no way to protect those lenses, is there?
Out of curiosity, are you running your DRLs? The heat problem might be cumulative, which DRLs would certainly add to.
FWIW the lenses are a separate part and a fairly simple DIY job. I've had to replace one, and it cost $66 for the lens itself. Don't let the dealer talk you into replacing the complete unit if it's not necessary (the reflector unit is undamaged).
Have you considered contacting the film manufacturer to ask them about the heat issue?
