As far as I can tell, this only applies to UFSv2 w/ softdeps. Let me try 
GIMP now (I use UFSv1 in case of emergency recovery necessity)... no, 
worked fine. /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp (which is UFSv1 w/ softdeps) 
and I saved a gargantuan image there without issues... really quickly 
too, I might add.

This must be only with UFSv2 (as I've heard in other parts of the lists) 
or something. I'm running a 2.0rc4 kernel from a couple of days ago 
without any stability issues whatsoever.
