[Iron Man 3] Why does the heat emitted by Savin and the other Extremis-powered badguys "short out" the Iron Man / War Machine suits?

When Stark or Rhodes are simply grabbed by an Extremis-powered bad guy it causes the suit to seize up like it'd being shorted out...why?

I've thought about that before, too. The conclusion i came to was that the massive amount of heat being applied to the suit actually solders and melts all the circuitry together, thus causing the armor to short circuit.
