Christ,

Platinum catalytic converters cans sustain over 1600 F continuously. During normal driving my EGT are 700-900 F at the first o2 sensor in my elantra. To be frank, I never saw it go above 1000 F. I doubt a bit that a rich running engine at startup could make an already hot cat exceed 1600 F.
