The tmpdir points to `/private/tmp` which is not mounted into the container.

Research direction

Start by locating the handling of $(runtime.tmpdir) and Docker bind mounts, then reproduce the failure on OSX. Done means the temporary directory is available inside the Docker container during the run; add or run a regression test if the project provides one for this behavior.
