Mine do that too, I think it is just the stagnant coolant in the block heating up when the engine stops. As soon as the coolant starts to circulate, the temp goes back to normal. Don't worry about it, it's normal.

I agree that anything over about 1 bar (15 psi) is OK, mine usually idles around 1.5 or 2.0 when its hot. It seems to vary a little based on temperature, idle speed, and type of oil. I've never seen one actually go down to 0.8.
