I have not personally seen what happens to them if you do it but for what good brushless motors cost I did not bother to tempt fate and find out hehe.
but that would be an RPM issue on a brushless motor, not a temperature issue.

I mean, its just an electro magnet, its not going to get hotter spinning at lower RPM with no load, is it?
