Was just wondering the same thing. If a bad head gasket is
letting hot combustion gases blow directly into the cooling
system, could it be that it's just heating up the coolant too fast
for the radiator to remove the heat? But that wouldn't explain
why the bottom of the radiator is cold, unless you are not letting
it run long enough (I'd be scared too!).

Here's a theory - a piece of the blown gasket broke loose and is
blocking a bunch of the small inlet tubes at the top of the
radiator. That would explain why the radiator is not removing
much heat, but still lets water from your garden hose through
the unblocked holes. It would also explain the spray from the
exhaust, but it doesn't jive with the good compression test.
Does it still spray when you start up?
