These fuses/holders are meant to withstand a pretty fair amount of heat. Unless you had it laying across the engine I doubt that enginebay heat cause it. I would think a more likey cause is what was suggested earlier. I loose fuse will somtimes arc in the holder and the loose connection will also cause resistance which will heat up the fuse. I've seen that occur quite a few times before.
