Option (2) seems the cleanest to me too, but I don't know if the guys at 
Yelp will like it ;-)

As a temporary fix, isn't it possible to have only one temporary file by 
user, suffixed by the login name?
/tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.<login name>

Thus, we will have at most one temporary file by user in /tmp and it 
removes the problem of file names "shared" with other users (and access 
problem linked to it).

(I hope my suggestion is not completely stupid)
