on os x when playing in the temp folder I will often use
uuidgen from the shell to get a unique file name, I also tend to partition my use of the temp area with a folder name based on the application name

from man uuidgen

The uuidgen command generates a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), a
128-bit value guaranteed to be unique. A UUID is made unique over both space and time by combining a value unique to the computer on which it was generated--usually the Ethernet hardware address--and a value repre- senting the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since October 15, 1582 at
     00:00:00.

I hadn't seen that mentioned.
I wonder if like Sven said the HTML viewer is keeping it's grips on the file and that prevents you reusing the name.

Of course if another application happened to put a "temp.html" in there you'd have similar issues if that application had that file in use

You might want to try a scheme that generates a unique name just to be safe Keep a list of all the ones you generated and remove them later when you're done with them
