This is not directly related to native compilation.
This is so creation of .elc files can be atomic (bug#4196).

I would guess that the only way this can happen is if Emacs dies during
byte-compilation, which is obviously not a normal situation.

IIUC, the temp files must be on the same partition as the destination
.elc files, else the move would not be atomic.
