I've had this happen to me twice. Once in DCA and once in DAL. Both were in the middle of the summer with short turns. One was due to the capt braking harder than I had ever braked before in my life (no joke) and it sent the temp all the way to the top. We had to wait for departure for about 20 minutes in the runup pad. He then had the never to write it up when we got back as a faulty sensor and tell MX that there was something wrong with it. I wanted to tell them all they had to do was fix the loose nut behind the yoke....
So if I'm going into a short field with a quick turn in the middle of the summer I'll spool them up about half way and do normal braking.
As far as the parking brake thing I think I read that in the QRH somewhere... Also I heard popping the TRs (if you're waiting for them to cool before departure) used to be a common procedure to cool them.
