These modern smart phones and tablets have several temperature sensors built in to take preventive measures in case temperature raises above a critical value. It's the case with the battery. These Lithium batteries could explode (or damage) if the operating limits (not just temperature) are exceeded. But temperature sensors help the (quite sophisticated) charge control to keep everything within safe limits. Without knowing the design of the DS5 I assume you don't need to worry about it. It should be able to turn off charging all by itself.
Also the CPU has potentially a temperature problem. If it would run at 100% load for several minutes not only the battery would be flat soon, but also the Application Processor (I guess its QCOM's Snapdragon) would overheat. Temperature sensors are there to prevent that. All in all I wouldn't worry too much. I take it as a positive sign if the device "knows" its too hot: then it can take countermeasures. The old PDAs probably didn't have all that, so it was quite easy to overcharge and roast the battery to death. Leave it in on the charger over the winter and the battery will be dead. I don't believe that limiting the charge current though the IOIO is a good idea. You may decrease the voltage on the USB below a level where it's even detected. As I said above, the charge control should take care of it. Starving the charge control by under powering it doesn't sound like a reasonable idea.
