There is a second problem though. I don't remember any other example of a Time Lord having a problem with fixed points. Doctor didn't have any aversion to Brooke. Nor did his TARDIS. He visited [[Pompeii]], had no problem. The Eleventh Doctor showed absolutely no signs of physical discomfort at [[Lake Silencio]]. Disclaimer: it's been awhile since I watched ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'', but my memory and my understanding of what happened was completely different. It was not a problem that Jack was a "fixed point", whatever that means in his case. The problem was that he was wrong, unnatural. Everything in the world comes to an end, but he was immortal, and this was what spooked the Doctor and the TARDIS. I feel like the current edit is jumping to conclusions. Was there an explicit causal link made between the fixed-pointedness and the TARDIS behaviour?
