This bug was closed because of a lack of response. Brett actually got
back to me in April 2020, but it seems like he didn't use "Reply to
all", so it never reached the bug tracker. I have included his full
message below.
I'll leave it to you to decide if this means the bug should be re-opened or not.

Nope, sorry - I just mis-typed it in this email subject. My literal config is:
(setq backup-directory-alist
`((".*" . ,temporary-file-directory)))
(setq auto-save-file-name-transforms
`((".*" ,temporary-file-directory t)))
I ran emacs with --no-init-file then set this config manually using
eval-expression. I still observe autobackup files in my current
directory. I also observed that temporary-file-directory exists and
emacs is writing other types of files there.
