Wot is the fire issue with halogen light bulbs?

None the industry knows of.

It's the "ceiling heater" lamps that have/had the issue. The floor
lamps with 200 or 300w bulbs in upward-facing dish reflectors. The fire
hazard was from curtains getting blown on top of the lamps & catching fire.

I thought this was fairly well known.
