Good to know.
Both rear brakes are good now. And yes, it is only one of the front wheels overheating. We haven't put the OEM rotor back on yet. Also, I'm not against having new OEM brake pads put on. One reason I went with new rotors was the weight saving. The pads were just part of the package.

it's possible that the new pads are just that tiny bit thicker and making contact with the rotor? when i had installed new [non-oem] pads, i had the same thing happen on my car. the OE pads have two shims, so i had installed both w/ the new pads-- i went back and removed one shim and that was enough to provide just that bit of additional clearance. no issues since.
