Or rather, is 350-450 degrees worthy of concern when powdercoating is so regularly accepted as a frame finish?
(Yes, fully aware the OP didn't bake the frame - I read that post. Just thinking out loud).

The lowest temperature for annealing use is somewhere around 250 degrees C (your 450 F is under that), and that's process annealing, not full anneal which is much higher - and the soak is usually longer; half an hour at powdercoating temperature probably would not do anything.
