I've seen that.

I don't believe it is a weird setting of `temporary-file-directory'. It
is a valid value for OS X, AFAIK.

And "/tmp" isn't a universal standard. For example, it doesn't work,
when your local machine runs MS Windows.

The patch in Tramp I have mentioned tries to distinguish between local
and remote temporary directories. I would like to know, whether this
works correctly for org-mode, or whether there is still an issue.
