That stuff is just evil. Some heater cores have smaller passages than radiators. I'd be prepared for another flush - maybe even just the core through the heater hoses and with a cleaning agent or vinegar or something. If the drain/refill process doesn't do the job...
Good luck,

agree. sounds like there is barely a dribble going through the heater matrix on tickover . once engine speed increases so does the pressure from the waterpump ... hence more heat. it could also have as trikey says an airlock to compound the issue yet further,
