It sounds like a rather rare problem. Maybe even only during boot up.
It is a non-existent problem on openrc if you clean /tmp and /var/tmp
on boot (which you should do if you use opentmp):
Which breaks a lot of STANDARDS-COMPLIANT software.
/var/tmp is *specified* as "surviving a reboot", so cleaning it on
startup is not merely non-standard, but *forbidden* by the standard -
said standard being the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard ...
For example, editors assume /var/tmp is a safe place to stash their
files so they can recover from a system crash.
(I used to mount /var/tmp as a tmpfs until I found that out ...)
