What then happens is the chain gets hot (made worse if its not sharp), expands and appears loose after some use (tends to recover as it cools).

The oiler should be chucking out quite a bit of oil, this helps cool the chain as well as lube it.

I would start by sharpening the chain well, check the oil passages (particularly in the chain bar), clean it well, adjust it all up, and having another go

Yep, run it in bright sunlight and if you can't see a generous mist of oil coming off the chain it's not oiling enough.
