Apart from my above question, what would the proper fix be? I guess

PACKFILE.
Yes, it should probably try both.
You could use tmpfile
(http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man3/tmpfile.3.html) for this on
Linux and OSX. The 'same directory as the packfile' should be read-only
on both these platforms (inside the App bundle for OSX and somewhere in
/usr/local/share for a properly installed Linux app)
On Windows, Microsoft offer the strangely useless GetTempFileName
function
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/
fileio/fs/gettempfilename.asp) along with GetTempPath.
