In fact one of my points is that he proably didn't have a new body, just his old one, possibly somewhat repaired but still the same one. If the body was brand new, he wouldn't have Naria period, unless he went an retrived it from his old body (and if he did you'd think he would have stripped off whatever clothing (torn and ragged as it was) it had for warmth (anything would be better than nothing)
I'm not sure about the fanficm not that I have anything against fanfic (Heck I'm working on quite a few (non tolkein) myself) I do however think there is potential for a talented illstrator to get a good picture out of it, Gandalf, naked, huddled on the snowy mountainside dwarfed by the scenery, his hair and beard streing in the snowy wind curled around the hand with Naria, which is emitting a tiny red glow. A powerful image of Gandalf's mortal bodies frailty agains the awesome and uncaring power of nature. Powerful.
