Bug#589537: grub-pc: TMPDIR is not honoured

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100710-1
Severity: normal
For some obscure reasons I don't have a usable /tmp at the moment, therefore decided to create /tmp2
as an alternative.
# ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 10 root root 4096 18. Jul 16:17 /tmp
# LANG=C touch /tmp/unusable-wtf
touch: setting times of `/tmp/unusable-wtf': No such file or directory
# echo $TMPDIR
/tmp2/
Which works fine for applications which honour $TMPDIR, but grub-pc's postinst does not:
Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100710-1) ...
mktemp: failed to create file via template `/tmp/grub.XXXXXXXXXX': Invalid argument
dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
The offending line in grub-pc.postinst:
tmp_default_grub="$(mktemp "/tmp/grub.XXXXXXXXXX")"
