I had the dots problem, but I can't related it to WiiConnect. Given the fact the problem is identical in all cases, and appears to be related to Pixel Shaders (hence why the problem is amplified greatly in outdoor parts of RE4) and not causing any other issue , I'd suggest it was an initial manufacturing problem.
Also given that the GPU shouldn't be powered when instandby, since there is no graphics, I don't really see how it could be suffering heat damage when it shouldn't be on.
That said, I don't use WiiConnect anyway, so I have it turned off.
