Something like this could only be relevant for local files which execute code on remote locations (e.g. babel via the :dir argument) and require remote temp files instead of local ones. But that seems like too much of an edge case to support. If necessary a user could easily solve it with a small wrapper, that sets default-directory accordingly.

When you have :dir argument in a source block, default-directory is set
to :dir value during execution. This affects the location of temporary
files as well.
