No; I don't have TMPDIR set at all.  (I had TMP set, but unsetting it
had no effect on the problem.)

After investigating further, I believe the fix is to add

    DIR => File::Spec->tmpdir,

to the argument list of tempfile.  I don't know why things work for you.
(Just to make sure, the problem occurs when the current directory is
unwritable.)
