OP, if the aux fan is coming on, you should hear it. It sounds like a train in the distance.
Heat soak when coming to a stop after a highway run... I'm not that familiar with how boxer engines manifest symptoms, but in other vehicles I've had, that sounds an awful lot like early signs of a head gasket problem.
Stupid question: Have you checked your coolant level?

Oops didn't see this until after my last comment. Coolant was fine, but you were right about the head gasket. Thanks!
Any ideas on how to prevent this kind of thing from happening again?
