Well, I still think they meant that Madara was really absorbing the flames, especially since the armour didn't seem to be discarded by Madara himself, it rather falled out because of the flames burning it; so it's either a lucky concidence for Madara to remain unaffected or he actually absorbed the flame, though some of it remained on the fallen armour.
