i don't think a transformer normally get too hot to touch. if you wrongly connect the 110v/220V input there would be other obvious problems. If there were to high currents be pulled from it, it could overheat but in that case a fuse at the secondary circuit will blow, unless its bridged by a nail or some sort.
maybe it is whithin the transormer itself, some windings could interfer with eachother when the insulation becomes weak or so. None of my transormers get too hot to touch .. till today...knock on wood!
