I think if you shovel your mulch (well know) it cools off in the shoveling. If you dump it with a dumper and bobcat it, well yes you will have alot of heat still in the mulch. Ive had piles max out at 250 degrees. Yes they did catch fire. Compost is strange when it goes anerobic and into the chemical break down stage. Any compost over 160 is a chemical breakdown process. 160 is ideal limit for arobic decomposition. Not much is known about the chemical breakdown due to the diversity of the feed lots of compost yards. They dont even really know why they self combust. Its kind of like magnitisum We get it but we just dont know exactly why it works. Nature is complicated we dont know all (yet)!
