Not really that surprising, a lot of natural materials have really good insulating qualities. Considering that it's mostly cellulose and water, I wouldn't really really think it would be flammable unless dried out.

Yes. The OP posted the video, it's clearly an ablative protection.

woah that's so cool, so the expanding steam is making a barrier across the surface of the skin!?!?

if you shot a durian at the sun, how close could it get before burning up?

would it form a tiny atmosphere with microscopic weather patterns and have a comets tail of steam?

While there's definitely a distance at which you could teleport a durian at which it would form a cute micro-comet, it would be practically invisible. Comets are huge things, 100s of meters to kilometers across. The only way you'd be able to appreciate the durian micro-comet would be if you were right next to it. Conveniently, you'd also be able to appreciate the "you" micro-comet you'd form.
