I don't normally use LC Server because its syntax cannot be tested in
the IDE, preferring to use standalones in server apps.
But I just downloaded LCS 8,.1.4 RC2, and running it from the command
line with your sample script yields the expected valid path to my temp
folder.
You may have found a Mac-specific bug worth reporting:

Hi Richard,
Ok, so I did the upgrade to version 8.1.4 RC 2 and
after rebooting I found that it made no difference at all.
When you are using lc-server and use
the following script, what do you get?
<?lc
put specialFolderPath("temporary")
?>
Thanks,
Rick

That value is either accurate or inaccurate. Either way, it seems a bug - the
question is, where?
If accurate, it would appear there's something very unusual about your OS
config, since temp files are a common necessity in modern OSes.
If inaccurate, it would appear to be a bug in LC 8.1.4 RC1.
Have you tried that in 8.1.4 RC2?

If the problem is repeatable with the latest build you might want to file a bug
report on that.
FWIW, testing both LC 8.1.4 RC2 and 9.0 DP6 I get a valid path to my system's
temp folder.
