Simple... The CO[sub]2[/sub] continue to solve in the ocean water.
Also, the "higher global temperature -> higher ocean temperature" step requires vast amounts of time.
It's only the surface temperature that is of concern, since that's where solution takes place. The surface can warm up much faster than the ocean as a whole.
Also, the "higher ocean temperature -> less solubility of CO[sub]2[/sub]" step is also doubtful. No one can predict the solubility by a single number.
If you take two bottles of coke, remove the tops, and put one in the fridge, the other out in the sun, which one will go flat first? The one in the sun.
