Processing Iron Blooms; Some cool instantly after placement on the anvil?

[Discipline Before Dishonor]

I'll have 8 forges running, all of them heating up iron blooms for processing with my helve hammer setup; Sometimes, I pick up a bloom from the forge and place it on the anvil, and the temp remains at 700 the whole time, allowing me to fully process the bloom into an ingot before it cools. But other times, I'll place the bloom onto the anvil at 700 degrees, and it will instantly start ticking down in temperature. I know there's a temperature freezing mechanic, where hot items placed onto the anvil will have their temperature upon placement maintained for a certain amount of time. My question is: Why isn't the temperature freeze applying to certain blooms? It seems totally random, and I don't think it's intended that you can remove a bloom from a forge, place it on an anvil, and have it immediately begin cooling down. Seems like a glitch, right?

Are all the forges still fueled and hot when you take the blooms off? I'm pretty sure the temperature freezing mechanic is not tied to placing something on the anvil but rather, like with the campfire too, depending on when last the outside temperature was equal to or higher than the item. Meaning blooms taken from a forge that still kept them a toasty 700 degrees would retain that for a bit whereas those on a colder forge already started ticking that freeze timer and might start cooling earlier after taking them out.

If not, might actually be a bug.

I've noticed some similar strange behavior with ingots. My usual workflow is to heat four ingots in the forge, then with cold ingots in hand pull two out, place two new ones, then put the hot ones on the anvil for the helve hammer to squash into plates. In 1.22 I've noticed sometimes the two hot ingots cool below workable temperature in the 1-2 seconds it takes me to put them on the anvil. My theory is that something about the cold ingots in hand is messing with the temperature "freeze" mechanic for items recently pulled from a forge, but I haven't been able to test that definitively. There's definitely some randomness involved.

So I am literally playing and smelting tin bronze ingots right now, in sets of 4, and in both batches 2 of the ingots retained their temperature and 2 were immediately "no temperature" items. So something might actually be off.

...I am also playing modded so take that with a grain of salt. (If you found halite yet, that is.)

Is it raining and are you outside with the anvil uncovered?  I had a very similar experience with ingots cooling down immediately and it turned out to be the rain.

I am outside and was still unroofed at that point in time, but it hasn't rained since winter ended (which I am getting incresingly concerned about). I also made a final 2 more ingots after this post, of which once again reliably the (I think) first I picked up was instantly cold and the second I picked up retained its temperature and didn't stack. Haven't had any issues with smithing those 6 ingots later though.
