Research direction
Start in scripttest.py around line 322 and inspect the assertion triggered when using a directory from tempfile.mkdtemp(). Review the surrounding command-testing flow to determine how temporary directories are currently handled. Done means providing an obvious supported way to use the temporary directory without triggering that assertion, with coverage for the reported case.
