that definitely looks like a bug, it should create that inside some random subdirectory..
Yes, especially as/tmp/<something predictable> is (also) a security-related bug (possible symlink attack).. See alsohttp://bugs.debian.org/875415 which I just received...
My experience of /tmp is that most things seem to create and write to /tmp/username or similar - it's odd to write straight into /tmp.
And that I guess is what's behind the original bug reported - the first user obviously created a directory with permissions set for him, then the second user came along, tried to use the same directory, and without write permission the second build fell over. (Obviously, whether that happens depends on how fast the reaper reaps the contents of /tmp.)
