Temperature is not behaving correctly in original salt water areas

There seems to be big issues with temperature behaviour.

I first observed this when I had huge ice ball in one biome. It melted with time alright but melting was super fast and salt water temperatures nearby were behaving really odd. Pic 1.png shows roughly how big ball of ice biome had. The ice was -60c at the coldest parts and there were hundreds of tons of it (as you can see, upper empty part is quite small after melting). However the salt water in pic 2.png is still original ~29c, which is not possible.

Second observation, which verified my point, was with cool salt slush geyser experiment. I removed original salt water area (wall pushing method) from under it to create big pool of -10c brine. When brine started to pour, it immediately heated closer to original 29c temp. There was no other liquids in the pool. Even the gas (co2) in pool was constantly fluctuating between 27-30c. I also dug background materials off to see if those caused the bug... didn't affect anything. Sadly I don't have pictures about this to confirm the results.

To me it seems that at least all originally created salt water areas keep their original temperature (or very close to it) no matter what.

Isn't this just the "Glaciers" world trait? Biomes behave differently because of backwalls. If you check coquina backwall, it has higher density than the water tile in front of it so they average their temperatures. The original temperature of the biome is around 30-33 C. Or at least that's what I concluded after watching a freezer build with thermo regulator not dropping any temperature until I removed backwalls.

I understand this but still, shouldn't even some temp shift to background? Or why -10c brine is immediately heated to +25c and above? It takes quite a while for even one full tile of brine to heat 35 degrees. And there was no background on some of these tiles in my experimentation. Maybe I'm missing something but this seems very much of a bug.
