The only thing I did differently was I wrapped two carboys in one bag, so maybe the lack of relative closeness of the bag to all sides of the carboy made a difference? Not sure. Next time I'll probably primary upstairs, but I then hate moving the carboy to the basement for secondary - it just screams "you are oxygenating the shit out of your beer right now" to me.

As for keeping fermentation temperatures up, don't forget the sleeping bag trick - seems to work really well for me during winter fermentations... you just got to slap it on after high kraeusen when the yeast cake is just starting to drop, and then let the fermentation ride out...
