Hi mate
Not sure because I don't have one! but the theory does make sense, the hot air is being pushed into the engine bay, I think this is why people use reverse scoops so the hot air is directed from the back of the I/C and out of the bonnet. Sorry I cant be of much help

Cant say I've noticed mine come on more... to be fair, the front mount inter cooler doesn't even get that hot, i think the rad fan gets hotter (and that's after a good hooning around a track)
