Does the separate libfile-temp-perl 0.21-1 in sid fix this for you?
>From the 0.21 upstream changelog:
* Temp.pm: Remove the test on the parent directory to see if a file
can be written. This will be found out anyway as soon as the file open
is attempted. AFS systems may fail a -w test but still allow a file to
be created. (thanks to Christopher Ellison)
