Why do you think it is and issue with capacitance instead of inductance?
If there's a problem with saturation or staircasing in the transformer, then the thermistor probably wouldn't go poof on startup. Saturation would be a design flaw (proper component selection and current limiting would prevent it) and would normally appear during heavy loading...so the converter would probably fail during operation, not startup.
