The problem doesn't occur when it's cold, but I have noticed that it presents itself when standing at idle for long periods of time like in peak hour traffic. The engine is hot, but the coolant temp says otherwise. It doesn't go above 68°C.

I take it you don't run a thermostat?
|
Actually I run a 71°C thermostat. Now, according to my temp gauge, it hardly even troubles the 165°F line, whereas before it was venturing past 212°F (100°C) with that same thermostat in. That's when I knew I had the head problem. 
PS: I do wish AutoMeter would bring out °C temp gauges...

If you are running a 71°C thermostat, and your temp doesn't get above 68°C, you have issues, or the temp guages are faulty.
A 71°C thermostat doesn't begin opening until 71°C.
ie, at 70°C, it is still fully closed.
At about 75°C, its about 50% open, and won't get till about 80°C before its fully open.
Why would you want to run the motor so cold?
Mine runs at 88°C, and gets to 94°C before I let the thermo's kick in.
I realised your factory thermostat is probably a few °C lower than mine, but not 20°C
