Yep, it was travelling fast - Mk1 Tin Can, with HS-125 Heat Shield - 2351 m/s, at 66km above Kerbin. 

Tin Can heating up and exploding without the Heat Shield appearing to do anything. Retreated to an earlier save, before the Tin Can began to heat, and repeated the manoeuvre, but this time Tin Can didn't register heat build up. Would appear the heat shield is inconsistent in it's function.

-When using engine mounts, you can protect it by attaching heatshield at top of its node.

-Skipper engine cannot be protected when heatshield is at top and bottom of its node( Bottom node has decoupler to make engine usable)

-Vector engines has heat shield at bottom of their nodes (decoupler is used to make engines usable)

Engines bottom note heatshields with decouplers heats as fast as engines without heat shields.
