I think really the problem is - like you said, the machine has very little safety factor in the alternator.  The origional design calls for a 24V stator that comes in around .6 ohm.  So at rated  output (1000W) the stator needs to dissipate close to 1000W and it's not up to the task.  By using larger magnets we cut that figure in half which should add quite a lot of safety factor I think.
