I had my chainring and crankset changed recently. The crank arms are shorter than my previous ones, but wider set. I've already been playing with seat adjustment ... I wouldn't be surprised if I had to do a bit more with my cleats.
It could be that. Maybe more float would help. Your feet move around a little with clips and straps.
Since the new cranks, have you put on many miles without this pain? Depending on what you are wearing in the cold, a few layers will raise your effective seat height, compared to warm weather and just shorts. Sounds like you are getting close to a solution.
