Not an exact answer, but my tmpfs are much smaller than yours, and so I 
have an override for certain packages to use disk-backed WRKOBJDIR as 
they no longer fit in tmpfs:

mail/thunderbird* has been in there from the beginning, so yeh it seems 
reasonable that it has grown a lot further since then.
