Default RE: brake fluid boil

Most brake fluids don't boil until they reach around 350 deg. Some synthetics go as high as 550 deg. Brake fluid will boil just like water when it gets hot enough. When it does boil, air escapes from the fluid and gets trapped in the brake lines. Might be where you are getting the air from.
