John, Yes, the temperature and current are completely normal. I have my MV89 running on the bench here, and it's drawing 300mA and too hot to hold.
Don't think about lagging it to keep it warm, or adding cooling, as you'll mess up the internal thermal profile, and then the calibration and performance may suffer. The ageing rate of my unit is about -2e-10/day.
