As you said, fuel pooling is a problem even for injected engines. So you see water heated manifolds, just as in carbureted engines. Note the Lycoming with the distribution pot inside the oil pan. Heated oil keeps the mixture in a gas like state and the latent heat of evaporation helps cool the oil. On hot days there is a loss of power based on intake air temperature, but they suffer fewer carb icing events.
I got out of my plane after a tuning run a couple weeks ago and there was water condensing on the outside of the manifold. 8*)
