It's probably this code? But it works for me; it just sets up a symlink
from /tmp for compatibility with older emacsclients, I think?
(defun server-ensure-safe-dir (dir)
[...]
(let ((olddir (or (getenv "TMPDIR") "/tmp")))
(when (and (equal dir (format "%s/emacs" (getenv "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR")))
(file-writable-p olddir))
(let ((link (format "%s/emacs%d" olddir (user-uid))))
(unless (file-directory-p link)
;; We're using the new location, so try and setup a symlink from
;; the old location, in case we want to use an old emacsclient.
;; FIXME: Check that it's safe to use!
(make-symbolic-link dir link t)))))
