As the temperature of the fluid increases, the pressure will increase while applying the brake. (although it will not always translate to higher braking power)

One possibility, is that the hot fluid and high pressure is triggering your emergency brake assist system. Maybe a little far fetched but wanted to throw it out. Most brake assist systems trigger based on the speed at which you hit the brake but could it also be somehow linked indirectly to brake fluid pressure? Also, the ABS sensor also detects brake pressure which could be thrown off by the high temp.
