Being burned on a hot rock is the equivalent of being burned on a bulb, and again as long as the bulb is far enough away, there should be no problem. My brother has an Arabian Blue Uromastyx which climbs up and uses a basking spot of 180 degrees every morning. No burns, just one very active lizard until he retires for the night.
As long as the animal has the option to avoid high temperatures if it wants to, and the elements in the cage are natural ones that the animal's instinct tells it how to respond to, burns will not happen.
