Dave,
Short of having a low coolant level, or still some air trapped in the cooling system...there's really not much else that comes to mind that will cause this problem.
The water pump isn't very efficient at idle...so if the idle speed was a bit low, this would only accentuate the problem.
My BB, as well...doesn't make great heat at idle, but becomes quite hot once rolling. As every component is new, I just attributed the modest heat output at idle as just a "normal" part of the ownership experience.
Regards,
David
