Now I'm home from work I've just had a look through my 1997 accessories catalogue and it was available as a kit for the non oil cooler models. Part number 69920571A.
Popped that into ebay and this came up as being sold by HGB:

No oil cooler fitted and no sign there ever was one.

It's not when the fuel is a liquid that is the problem it's when it's turned into a vapour in the emulsion tubes, which under certain conditions can freeze momentarily as it mixes with cold air causing the motor to misbehave a little.
Some bikes seem more prone to it than others and some people say fuel additives through the Autumn and Winter months can help.
