What would you consider to be wrong with (a): just the fact that it's
touching the pipe (why, cos it's already electrically connected to
it?)


Yes, and if there's enough current flowing in the bonding cable to make
thermal insulation a bad idea, you already have a problem!


Like has been said enough current in that conductor long enough to give
thermal problems you have a much more serious problem elsewhere. I'd go
against being under the insulation as the wire is then hidden and damage
might not be obvious (vermin nibbling round the back etc). I think I'd go
for b) outside but on the climaflex (assuming compatibilty between the
plastics is OK).
