At a guess - insufficient cooling air flow at lower compressor/turbine speeds. Once the compressor is fully up to operating speed, there is much more air flowing through the "Cooling ducts" of the engine. Remember that air is used for cooling and flame shaping within the engine as well as for heating & other accessories "outside" the engine.
