I think you can work around this with an environment variable;
tempfile uses tmpdir,  which:

  def Dir::tmpdir
    tmp = '.'
    if $SAFE > 0
      tmp = @@systmpdir
    else
      for dir in [ENV['TMPDIR'], ENV['TMP'], ENV['TEMP'],
                  ENV['USERPROFILE'], @@systmpdir, '/tmp']
        if dir and File.directory?(dir) and File.writable?(dir)
          tmp = dir
          break
        end
      end
      File.expand_path(tmp)
    end
  end
