You put oversized linings on to make up for over spec drums correct?
My take on this is that your brakes are adjusted out too far causing drag and overheating of the drums to a point where you have brake fade as the shoes no longer contact the drum as it has grown in diameter.
Perhaps your drums are really too far out of spec or simply remove some excess brake lining
