do you have a separate /tmp partition? if so, chmod 1777 /tmp, otherwise normal users can't write files there (something which has bugged me for a long time, and is still a problem in the gentoo install)
Have you filed a bug @ bugs.gentoo.org?
Why does this happen for you? Surely if you have /tmp mounted when you untar the install stage you use, it will get the correct permissions?
