Is this discrepancy you mention something that has been verified?  This is the first time I hear of it.

Its been discussed numerous times - its quite well established. Its because on the solidoodle nozzle the thermistor is a fair distance from the meltzone, on the outside of the nozzle. On every other extruder, it is inside the heater block. Its quite common knowledge and not a secret by any means...

It does actually explain it - read what I wrote about how different filament from different manufacturers uses different melt point plastic feedstock..... "Other filaments from other manufacturers" is precisely the difference! All plastics are NOT identical.. and different manufacturers and filaments will have different tempreature requirements and even flow rates....

It also doesn't explain why this is the first time this has happened.  I've used other filaments before from other manufacturers and never had it burning like this.

The switch went on without any glitches, the printer continued where it left off, went on for a few paths, then started to lay down some brown filament.  I then noticed I could see smoke from the tip of the extruder, something I hadn't seen before.  The filament it was putting down was actually burnt.

I lowered the temperature, and the brown started going away, but by now the print was ruined.

I had previously used pink colored Octave filament and didn't have this problem.  Does anyone else  use Octave filament and have you come across similar problems, what extruder temps are you using with it?

BTW, my original default temps were 200°C (205° first layer).  To get this to stop burning the filament,  I had to lower it by 10°, to 190°C.
