Spurious failure of 'merge' due to cleanup of /tmp

On my Mac OS X 10.4 system, something deleted the contents of /tmp
while the test suite was performing a 'merge', including the REPORT
that Subversion had spooled to disk:

svn: Can't open '/tmp/report.tmp': No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):

Failure

Albeit whatever performed the deletion was probably wrong for doing so,
do we take any steps to protect against this type of problem?
