>>Could the black fusion crust  formed at the time of ablation absorb the 
sun's radiative heat during the dark  flight fall? Or provide some form of 
insulating  benefit?<<

Maybe...but I'd think that the air it has to pass thru  during this period 
would be quite cold and its passing thru would cool the  outside skin quite 
quickly. The meteorite at this period would be cold on the  inside and 
getting cold on the thin skin outside.
