Comment:

 Thanks for the report. You could add something like this before changing
 TMPDIR to find out what value is initially set for it, if any:
 {{{
 if {[info exists ::env(TMPDIR)]} {
     ui_msg "TMPDIR = $::env(TMPDIR)"
 } else {
     ui_msg "TMPDIR is not set in the environment"
 }
 }}}
 If TMPDIR is nonexistent or not writable, Tcl should theoretically fall
 back to using /tmp, which is a link to /private/tmp on macOS. So maybe
 check the permissions on that as well.
