This time you have right. However, since the question purpose was hobby and
not production (my nose smell it) I can tell that 90% of the PIC works OK
overclocked as suggested in the temperature range mentioned in the datasheet
with external oscillator and external oscillator/internal PLL enabled
combination.

The weak part of the PIC which is creating problems at high temperature is
the internal oscillator and analogical stuff (reference, A2D and the
comparator)
