The reported temp at turn on via either the OBD data or the climate control hack is 104-105 C. This is perfectly normal behavior by all accounts. I have actually never had the fans kick up to Hi when driving, even in summer traffic and my temps run in the low 90s when cruising at speed and not pushing the car particularly hard.
I no longer worry about this. I leave it to you newbies....

Mine, 2000S, is EXACTLY the same! Thanks Teleski for the confirmation. I guess my local dealer is pretty spot on. After all, I was going to pay to have the problem diagnosed and he talked me out of spending money...and then gave me a discount on my oil change...
