I recall reading a note about the PI running MMbasic. When MMBasic is idle, it still consumes some power.
Maybe that could explain the 3 degrees difference between python and MMBasic.
Local heating by the PI core. You could simply check this by measuring the power from the USB. That heat goes somewhere..

I've eliminated any heat produced by anything

I have it set on a table with a fan blowing air slowly past it, the BME280 is not in any case or packaging it's open to the air on the table
