It was an easy way to make approx-gc etc. work when libpam-tmpdir is in
use.  (In that case, root has TMP = /tmp/user/0 or some such, and when
approx-gc drops privileges to user approx it can no longer write any
temp files.)

I think I can use some more elaborate logic for temp file creation to
work in both your case and that one.
