Glad to hear mine isn't unique in this regard.
Lighting up the catalyst material in that manner would, I guess, impede through-flow, possibly causing an exhaust bottleneck or back-pressure.  Or would it assist through-flow by acting somewhat like a jet afterburner?  
Has anyone mistakenly installed hollow catalytic converters in their car?  Any ill effects?
Finally, to clarify the record, my car leaks nothing.  OK, maybe freon.
