OK, I figured out exactly when we need more space in /var/tmp: If yum is being run as a _user_ (e.g. to search for packages), yum will download *full* repository information into /var/tmp/yum-<user>-<random>. This happens even if "sudo yum update" has been run a few seconds before. On my current test build, the repository information totals to about 70MB, so a 50MB tmpfs will run out of space.
