I agree,
When the cable cools and its red outer sheath is cold you can get the cable to release inside, the once hot outer sheath.
This will get worse until its "Cattle trucked"
Route it again, as far as possible and fit some heat shield sheathing over it or header wrap works.

I've never doubted your opinion before Dave but would the cable length really change by enough to have any effect?
You're not even heating the whole cable, just the short section next to the header. In addition, surely the sheath AND the inner will be heated pretty equally and will therefore expand equally, cancelling any expansion effect.
One effect of heat on a cable i've experienced is the plastic inner sleeve swelling and gripping the cable, reducing the movement at the far end until ultimately it seizes completely. This eases once cool but never fully recovers.

No-one will believe you...
