I have a similar problem but I think it just takes a long time to cool the ducting down to ambient after the ahs been parked.

I definetly has a problem with the Statesman I owned before my T and that was due to it being 10yo and a hole in the water supply valve to the heater unit. I always maintained antirust in the system and was surprised that the hole had developed.

I guess this is not the case for your car being so new. Or could it be possible that the heater valve control arm is being restricted and not closing fully.
