New submission from Hans Lawrenz:

Inside a virtualbox vm, calling tempfile.TemporaryFile(dir=foo) where foo is a 
directory which resides on a volume mounted from the host OS, a 
FileNotFoundError exception is thrown.

In the following code sample, the second block will print "Path 2: ERROR" on 
Python 3.5 but not on 3.4 or 2.7 (assuming the vagrant environment provided 
below):

import tempfile


try:
    with tempfile.TemporaryFile() as tf:
        tf.write("testing testing testing\n".encode('utf-8'))
    print("Path 1: worked")
except FileNotFoundError as e:
    print("Path 1: ERROR")

try:
    with tempfile.TemporaryFile(dir="/vagrant") as tf:
        tf.write("testing testing testing\n".encode('utf-8'))
    print("Path 2: worked")
except FileNotFoundError as e:
    print("Path 2: ERROR")
