The point exactly. The e-brake engages the brake drum, not the rotor. Even in the GT with its 4 wheel disc there is a small brake drum inside the rotor housing that engages when you pull on that e brake. The rotors heat up, yes, but the e-brake does not lock these. Unless you're using your handbrake for most of your stopping (which you should be slapped if you're doing), leaving the e-brake on with hot rotors will have little to no effect.
