Im guessing that it may be a fluid temperature issue in the clutch assy ..since front side of that clutch would be stationary and rear side would be moving?.
This would be my reasoning also.
Thinking about how the 4WD clutch works, even though there is no drive transmitted in 2WD mode, the tailshaft is always rotating through the pinion gear of the transmission and so is the rear differential. This means there is a SLIGHT rotational difference across the clutch pack when there is a speed difference but otherwise both sides should be at the same rotational speed, though there is no forced coupling.
When towing with the rear wheels on the ground there would be a LARGE rotational difference of speeds across the clutch pack which it may not be designed for.

Re: Towing an X-Trail T31
If you needed to tow the Xtrail with the rear wheels on the ground then a suggestion is to disconnect and remove the tailshaft.
This allows the rear diff and 4WD clutch pack (which will be rotating) to be isolated from the front drive pinion (which will be stationary) and theoretically everything should be OK, but should be tested.
