How long have you been using it?
Had any problems with the X-carriage becoming soft due to the reduced cooling of the heat sink?
(I damaged my own hot end and while waiting for spares i ran it wrapped in toaster ni-chrome as a heater element, the radiated heat was enough to make the x-carriage loose its grip on the belt twice...)
I'm using it since few days only, but I don't think reusing the airflow will lower that much the effect of the heatsink.
I had a similar problem than you when using only a flat aluminium plate and a x-carriage with a tooth profile to hold the belt, during a hot day of summer http://reprap.org/wiki/FoldaRa... (now with the zip-ties, and the real heatsink this problem is solved :) )
