After a very quick look, F11-on-XO mounts tmpfs there only via
/etc/fstab, so I don't know how to explain this. If you find
the answer I'd be interested to know it.

SoaS3 puts this mount in /etc/fstab _and_ runs
/etc/init.d/livesys{,-late}, which mount tmpfs there.
OTTOMH this seems a terrible thing to on a swap-less,
memory-constrained device. You may be adding a swap device to get yum
to do anything useful on a SoaS build.
I've taken that tmpfs --> /var/tmp mount of out my SoaS /etc/fstab
contents, and livesys* are disabled.
