I have a different theory. I've had the same problem several times and I don't think it matters about the temp of the roux or stock.

Was your roux really dark?

I love a really dark roux and that's when I have problems with separation. I never had a problem with a lighter brown roux. I think the darker roux may actually be burned and that is why it is not coming together. That's my theory anyway as nothing else makes sense.

I do like a dark roux, but not almost black. Maybe a shade darker than a Hershey's bar.

But I also think that temperature of roux and stock aren't the reason.

Do you use homemade stock? I almost always use store bought. I wonder if a larger fat content of home-made stock comes into effect.

We need ALton Brown to weigh in on this one.
