Hm.  What does M-: (tramp-make-temp-file) RET print?  I think if you
hack it so that this function returns the right value, everything
will be fine.

Hm.  The function tramp-make-temp-file uses
tramp-temporary-file-directory to compute the dirname part.  So, try
M-: (tramp-temporary-file-directory) RET.  Also see the source code
for that function.

Please report your findings.  Thanks,
kai
