Here we allocate the string, but later we may return NULL on error,
leaking the allocated memory.

OK. I think these checks should be sufficient to deal with the /tmp race
I mentioned elsewhere in the thread (assuming that an attacker cannot
flip the uid back and forth in the same way, but that should be true on
Unix systems).

Should these be using warning(), rather than a raw fprintf?

And this retains the un-racy mkdir(). Good.

This mkpathdup accesses the string we just freed?
It might be easier to just use a strbuf here, and then you can append to
it at the end.
