I think you'll have to accept that as a matter of course. Still it's probably possible to tweak the correction so it doesn't interfere with proper running, or even use that to your advantage to make it run better.
You might be able to turn on the auto tune and then when it comes up with a set of correction values, instead of dumping them into the VE map, apply them to the temp correction tables instead. I suppose you'll have to do that manually.
When do you plan to have the motor out again? I think the factory spot is pretty good on the 3.2 heads. I have a scrap 3.0SC head (loaned out at the moment) that I could poke at and see if it's practical to machine a spot for the sensor in-situ. Doubt it will be possible with the motor in though.
Or, you could try looking for oil temp
