Comment:
Thanks for the report.
The good news is that 6.12 already tells you the path in the exception.
I'm not sure that we can easily give a better error message. We don't
currently know where the path we're trying to create came from, and on
Windows it looks like we get it by calling `GetTempPath` so we probably
have no way of finding out that it was ultimately from `%TMP%`.
