No expert here, just guessing.
Oops I didn't mean to come across as an expert either I'm just going by the Messerschmitt chart that shows that the temperature limits are lower the higher you get. Going by that I figured it must be because the boiling point changes with altitude.

However you are right the system would be pressurized so I'm not sure why the limits are lower.
