You did not attach these, but linked to a tarball stored in a Google drive instead.

I don't know, and yours is certainly the first report I've seen of this despite the code in the pam modules not having changed for years. What type of filesystem is mounted at /tmp? Is it a tmpfs? Do you configure something in your login environment that causes mktemp to use a different path for tempfiles than pam itself, running in a system context, would?
