It's a great question! The most likely culprit is the use of the heatshock70 terminator in the design of the GAL4 enhancer trap construct and the hsp70 promoter in the UASt vector. Its possible some temp sensitive elements might still be present.

Gal4 itself is not temperature sensitive. We tested this in our paper (Riabinina, Nature Methods, 2015). Additional refs to this fact also in that paper.
That being said, many GAL4 lines are temp sensitive, which likely reflects the use of temperature sensitive components.
