What could cause warm water to come out of the cold water side of a faucet?

It probably runs near a heat vent and the water warms up when it's just sitting in the pipe. It will probably cool after you let it run for a while and start bringing in the water that was outside, underground. Depending on your area, underground water seeks ground temperature and that's what you should be getting after you let the water run for a little.

Can hot water bleed into the cold water line through a sing handle shower body?
Yes, it can also cross through a two handled faucet. Both the hot and cold sides of the faucet must be on and the flow of water must be stopped or greatly reduced on the outlet side of the faucet. This can occur when a hose with a spray nozzle is attached to a laundry tub faucet with the faucet on and the spray nozzle off, or when a shower faucet is on but the shower spray head is off. When another cold water outlet in the system is turned on then the pressure on the cold side of the laundry tub or shower faucet in question could be lowered below the pressure on the hot side and hot water can flow into the cold water side. There are faucets which have integral check valves which prevent this from occurring. WWW.WOODBRIDGEPLUMBING.COM

Do you use the water heater when you use just cold water?
If water is only drawn from the cold faucet, then no, the water heater is not involved. However, if water is drawn from the hot faucet- even for a few seconds- hot water IS withdrawn from the heater, and fresh cold water drawn in to be heated- even if the hot water did not make it all the way through the pipe to the faucet- and the water heater will work to heat that fresh cold water.
