Seems counter-intuitive, but if it works...

The A/C condenser is definitely going to dump more heat in the area of your radiator. The only thing I can image that's at work here, is perhaps when the car is "overheated" only 1 of the two fans is running up front, and the other one only turns on when the A/C is turned on.
