I surmise cooler air going through the intake on the TMIC (on a stationary car) would slow the rate at which the IC heatsoaks.

You surmise incorrectly. Heat increase on the inlet side does not result in a linear increase in heat on the discharge side, nor does that temperature affect intercooler heatsoak at all. The heat rising off the engine black (and blowing back from the radiator) is what does it.
