I am looking at uiop/image.lisp and it looks like it should do what you want out of the box. At the very bottom of the file I see a call to REGISTER-IMAGE-RESTORE-HOOK, and one of the elements of that list is setup-temporary-directory. So it seems like either this call is not happening properly or there's a bug in setup-temporary-directory. Is there any chance you could have overwritten UIOP's restore hook? Would it be possible for you to trace RESTORE-IMAGE and SETUP-TEMPORARY-DIRECTORY to see what's happening? I confess to not knowing whether TRACE will persist over image dumping....
