I don't think there is much going on in the scan coils. I would guess you can short them out if you don't mind watching a straight line, the line output would still function fine and generate EHT and boost.

I have no idea on the heat either, as said, it would increase the humidity of the trapped air. Not sure how this would impact winding capacitance or if we could be looking at localised corona discharge.
