I'm not familiar with the dust boot on the Z but, if it's anything like others I've seen, I can imagine the boot coming loose and falling against the driveshaft. Friction would cause the boot to heat up and melt. I'm also imagining that when the vehicle was parked, the boot would glue itself to the driveshaft.
My guess is that a wire brush and some elbow grease will solve the problem.

+1. Even if the boot glued itself to the driveshaft and got ripped off, I doubt if it would do any damage to the driveshaft. Get a second opinion from another shop.

Yep.
