This looks to me to be a problem with Nautilus (or whatever is providing the delete->trash mechanism).
I suspect that it doesn't want to move files across mount points, as this can take a long time (as compared to flipping a few inodes). If your trash bin is in your encrypted Home, then to move a file from /tmp to Trash means encrypting it (which might take a few seconds if the file is big). Some special case handling (or optional configuration) might be required in Nautilus. I'm assigning this bug to the Nautilus package, as I think that's what provides the Trash bin.
