I think that the humidity level in my house would indicate otherwise. We have a dehumidifier that runs if the humidity goes over 60 percent and it doesn't run at all when the heat is on in winter, even with 2 small humidifiers running on low to prevent dangerous levels of dryness (without humidifiers we get nosebleeds, cracked lips and severely dry, chapped skin).

I think you explained it quite well; it goes in line with what I said.

When you heat the air, you increase the amount of moisture the air can hold and thus lowering it's % of moisture saturation.
