There are three Thermostats (Well two and a flame sensor). You know how the flame sensor works, and you know how the indoor thermostat works.
The one that is bothering you is the high temp cut out.. If the burner is making HOT faster than the blower is blowing cooling air over the heat exchanger... This Thermostat cuts off the burner to keep it from going into meltdown (A very bad thing) and it is working properly.
Several things can cause this to happen... Some of them are problems, (IE: blockage on one or more air ducts) one is simply the battery running down a bit and thus the blower slowing slightly... But it may well be working as designed.
