That is, assuming that the parent directory exists, we create org-persist temporary directories as "$TMPDIR/org-persist/XXXXXX" and everything else would remain the same. The downside for this approach is that, since `make-tempfile' only makes a mkdir() call in its underlying function try_dir() assuming the existence of its parents [1, 2], we would probably have to create the parent via `(mkdir DIR t)' before every `make-tempfile' call within org-persist.
