You've mentioned this a couple times and I'm just not familiar with what you are referring to. I skimmed the articles, but I have seen rotors that are physically out of spec on runout as measured by a dial indicator. I'm not saying it was caused by heat, but one article mentioned non-metalic pads and modern resins, but rotors with excessive runout predate ceramic brake pads by decades.
Any brake pad that has had the operating temp ceiling exceeded will melt onto the rotor.

What you measured is brake pad deposits on the face of the rotor.
