There is no suggestion that there is any fault in respect of the screwed connection unless the original wiring has been messed with e.g. the so called "upgrade". An extra wire has been mentioned and if there are two lugs on the the stud, current would pass between them and not via the stud.
A solid short within the alternator is unlikely and the alternator in itself could not produce the current required to heat the connection to being visibly red. What is more the fault is reported to have likely occurred as a result of work on the radiator.
