It seems that the CMB monopole temperature is hard-coded as follows:
camb.f90:
P%TCMB = 2.726
I think that the most up-to-date number is 2.725 K.
I am concerned that it may affect the value of log[10^{10} A_s] slightly.

CMB monopole temperature of cosmomc
Isn't it also on the parameter file (params.ini) ?
If I'm not wrong, CAMB will use the value from the parameter file...temp_cmb = 2.726

I believe that the parameter file you are talking about is a camb parameter file and the parameter file for cosmomc does not have 'temp_cmb = 2.726'.
I also tried to vary the 'temp_cmb = 2.726' in the camb parameter file and it seems the change in the camb parameter file does not affect the amplitude of the camb Cls, but other internally derived cosmological parameters.
