Big drill behind a heatshield still heating up in 1.2.2

[Kulebron]

I'm still affected by this bug. I did read the existing forum threads on this before testing and posting here.

They claim this has been fixed 1.2.2, but I had my drills explode every time.

In the screenshot, the ship reentered from a low orbit at 3200m/s, and the drill did survive. But when I reenter at 5000m/s, it certainly does not. As you can see in the screenshots, the drill is beyond the heatshield, but still it's the only part of the ship that is shining red, apart from the heatshield itself, and a brief look with the debug tool confirms it. The landing strut near it is cool, just as any fuel tank.

The debug info also mentions "exposed skin" for the drill, while the other parts have no exposed skin. Does this mean that the drill is considered sticking through the heatshield?

If it's still not fixed, then we're probably still in need of tricks to land a ship with this drill.
